Linux Gaming Keeps Going!

Over the last two years, gaming on Linux has been growing by leaps and bounds!

We got to thank Valve for their efforts a lot

Linux increases performance on low ends too, like when using dxvk and proton it raised 15-20 to 20 to 40. Crazy!!! (ofc by sacrificing battery life)

Sold my pc when I moved out my parents and I didn't play games for 3 years. I decided to treat myself and get a steamdeck; the desktop ecosystem is so good I've ditched my laptop and do everything from a Galaxy tab 6lite and the steamdeck. It really is awesome and punches way above its weight.

[Rullino]

It's funny how people say that Linux isn't even in the conversation for gaming didn't even make research before coming up with these conclusions.

I can already see a future where mobile linux distros existing and using proton inside that

[mandatedmarrow]

I believe one day in time linux will over take Microsoft but people are brainwashed thinking Windows is the best OS

[mathgeniuszach]

Nearly all games I've ever played on Steam either have native or really good wine support. Generally, I take a failing wine run to be a litmus test that whatever game probably requires something I don't want running on my pc anyway.

[glajskor]

The issue tho is that native linux ports of games are usually really badly made to the point where windows game on proton/wine simply work better than actual native ports
Which is I guess good from the perspective of people who want to switch from windows to linux but keep their games, however a tiny bit less great in terms of windows' massive monopoly on the market

Fr i literally played Project IGI on linux and it failed to work in Windows 10 😂😂😂😂

[hakaneroglu]

Thank you for your efforts Valve ❤ I love you

[whyproblemmake]

Абсолютно согласен, Протон - это великолепно

[incomplete]

There are even more games that are "not supported" by valves testing but work with simple workarounds.

[AB-wqvy]

I have been using linux mint for a year now and never had any issues with gaming. I don't need to use terminal, everything just works. Much better than windows imo.

[Link-channel]

Right now Linux Mint requires less tinkering and workarounds compared to windows. Everything just works out of the box.

[ZeusFaucon]

i did try, but i will stick with windows

[jijiboji]

And that's why I practically switch to PC (Linux), I have PS5 but if I want to buy a game that I know I will mod or I want more performance I use pc

[DivyanshuBhadoriya]

I have a pc with 10700k and 3060ti...built in 2022..., but now as I have to travel a lot for weeks to diff. places. I'm not able to play games.., so should I buy a gaming laptop or a steam deck.

[jordicoma]

Also, there are more games than run on linux/proton than steam verified.

[princemj]

I think Valve's decision is better for them and for the consumers which is nice. 💯

[attemptinggamer]

The second most games with anticheat decide to let me play on linux ill be switching
