I'm never installing windows 11.
I'm switching to full time Linux after Windows 10 becomes 100% obsolete.
I'm praying that the steam deck helps Linux support for games enough to fully uninstall windows
How far behind do you think Linux gaming is?
Check protondb, I'd be surprised if you couldn't play 9 out of your 10 most played games.
Depends on what you play. Multiplayer FPS games are still very far behind, where 9/10 don’t work due to anti-cheat.
If you only play small indie games or single player games you’re fine, but if you want any kind of competitive multiplayer you’re hosed.
Apex legends, overwatch 2, baldurs gate 3 and starfield are all gold on protondb. The only recent release I've found that's borked is cod: cold war and I'm sure that will be fixed eventually
Apex Legends has repeatedly falsely banned Linux players. I’m not risking my account.
Any CoD, Destiny 2, Valorant, iRacing and a bunch of others are flat out not compatible and some have explicitly said there’s no plan to support Linux at any point.
