Ok! Moved to linux for gaming 2 years ago and havent looked back. Eat shit, MS.
How is it for gaming? Im hesitant to switch just for that one use case, but its a big one.
Great. Proton changed everything. My friend uses arch, i use fedora, another friend uses bazzite. I can play everything i want, no issues. Great framerates
The great framerates was something i doesn't expect to this extent when switching. I thought that games would probably work similar but i went from 40-50 fps on medium high settings in elden ring to smooth 60 on highest settings just by switching from windows to bazzite
Same! Windows is so heavy now they are even considering making a leaner gaming edition. Its so silly.
It is amazing for gaming (particularly if you go with AMD over Nvidia). I've run into very few (if any) games that have outright not worked. Almost all games work with not tinkering whatsoever.
Checkout protondb.com and look up the games you're wondering about.
