I don't have first-hand knowledge of this, but I've heard many people say that the issue with multiplayer games is specifically the ones that use kernel anti-cheat, and even more specifically the ones who haven't enable the anti-cheat feature to work for Linux. So this will generally mean popular, competitive AAA multiplayer titles. Your average indie multiplayer game should not have this issue.
for sure, if they exclusively play indie multiplayer games they should be fine without dual booting
Eh idk, most of the time you have to hack your way to being able to use multiplayer in linux, which honestly is a pain in the ass. just using windows for gaming is going to save many hours of frustation.
In what way do you have to "hack"?
Hack as in tinker with stuff.
I was interested in if you had any examples.
I havent used linux for steam for years now but i remember having issues with terraria and lived through rocket league dropping linux support so yea.
Thanks, I wasn't aware as I haven't tried it myself yet.
