I’m kinda new to Linux, I got Nobara due to having a 4080, I have a nvidia/intel gaming laptop, since the wine 11 and proton updates Darktide started working flawlessly, and that was the only game I had major issues with.

Infact I so rarely use my dual boot of windows to do anything now, I’m like the Gandalf meme, I have no memory of this place.

Honestly it’s faster too imo, maybe it’s just bias but even down to just startup, shut down, it doesn’t hang as much, it doesn’t get in your way and ask you if you want edge as your default browser 15 times a day.

It's about incremental improvements. Proton: game computability and performance. kernel: video card drivers optimization.

I'm only getting improvements as time goes on, they're incremental so it can be a bit hard to notice from day to day. Overall it's a very solid experience so far.

I'm not noticing much difference, if any. But I'm playing games that have been stable and well established as deck compatible, so maybe I'm not the best example.

Edit: I do have and use steam on my laptop, just not often enough to merit an opinion

You after something specific? I installed steam in a old ass desktop last week, got factorio running lickety split and have hardly seen daylight since

Maybe someday HDR and FSR 4.# will be enabled/work out of box on supported games without Gamescope or steam launch property tweaking. 🥹

I think that's currently a Linux gamer tax.
