Just a basic thing I have found with Linux Gaming.

Behind you... Naked!
Ok, I have been running Windows and Linux on my machines for a few years now. Not multibooting, but each system has a different O/S.

Anyway, I finally made the switch not too long ago, and I was using a Windows PC for the odd program that I could not find on Linux that I use a lot in Windows, but now, I have finally fully crossed over because I now do nothing that actually needs windows, and everything works great on Linux for me.

One thing I have noticed however, and that is, that a couple of the games that I do love playing, have sometimes got a small issue with them. One of them for example is WarHammer Dawn of War, DC and SS, in that they can often crash with a Scar Error? -A fix for thaty can be to lower the quality of the Audio a smidge and sure, that helps greatly, but I have not had any such issues under Linux, and I have tried my best to get it to fail but it simply does not.
One small downer with Linux, is that the speed of the loading of games and the levels/data etc is very slow compared to Windows, and yet, when I am working with masses of files, its way quicker in Linux... So swings and round abouts I suppose?

Either way, I am now free of Windows. Microsoft has Windows 11 to thank for that. Its simply getting too invasive, and demanding too much control of my PC.
 
I sure will...

I dont play THAT many games anymore as I have Physical and mental issues.

I mostly play games that require no hands to play... My fingers are messed up so I cant use a controler but Im ok with Mouse and keys.

All the games that I have on Steam ( and its a ridiculous amount ) all seem to play just fine under Steam, and yes that uses PROTON.


Many games, but not all, seem to play better under Linux... Loading times are not as quick, but the game play seems nicer.

I have also gone back to ATI for the Graphics on my main PC. The laptops are still nVidia. One of my older Laptops only has a GTX460 and thats just started to be a pain as I have to use an older Driver, but then it updates itself automatically and then it stops working... I think thats why I dumped NV and went ATI, but my cards are all more up to date and so I wont have that issue, but still...
 
AMD cards generally work better, it’s true.

I find smoothness on Linux is much better, but I don’t play AAA titles anymore really.
 
I do not miss AAA games and games like BF6 bore me because it looks like the same game they've been making since BF3. There is so much to play I was fine on my Mac when I had a stage of playing Mac before they went ARM and I had to ditch it...

But yeah it's just nowhere near what it needs to be, until companies support it properly with drivers, you're forever in terminal with a headache.
