"The one thing I liked about my YouTube channel was nobody watched it." -- Might be the best thing ever uttered on Youtube.

Great video :) I love seeing more 'Gaming on Linux' content.
I switched to Linux full time about 18 months ago, and if I'm honest, I don't even really feel like I'm gaming on a weird non-gaming OS anymore. Titles mostly just work and usually the only ones that don't, aren't my style anyway. I think the only time I had a sudden reminder was when I loaded up Fallout 4 and got the same loss of vocals as you did with Skyrim. Took under 5 mins to fix :)

Also, if you're considering gaming on Linux more, might I recommend going for an AMD Gpu?
Because AMD cards use the Mesa drivers, you'll have access to the ACO shader compiler, bringing down that performance difference.

Give 'phoronix aco benchmarking' a Google to see what I'm talking about :)

I also like that nobody watches my channel. My trick is that I don't have any videos and I never will. It's worked great so far.

Congrats on the 5k!

Btw don't play online games with anti-cheat, EVEN if it works, you will get banned eventually, you can check SomeOrdinaryGamers channel where he talkes about that and how he uses virtual machines to bypass (however I think it is no longer safe to use vms)

You should also take a look at feral gamemode

I want to run linux full time but I always hit a wall with some issue or another that no amount of googling and copy pasting commands will fix even tho, the community insists fixed those issues for them. And the arch community repository or whatever, that pile of shit never worked. I could never complie from it, every thing I tried wouldn't work. Community members would even go with me step by step telling me what to do and the commands wouldn't work. Eventually it was all blamed in me even tho, I did everything I was told and shown in videos.

I didn't know these tips, thanks the video. Unfortunatly these settings don't apply to drawing tablet driver disgusting delay in osu, this is the only thing which stuck me on windows. (I do use the linux native osu, so no wine included)

and yet, still no one is playing Destiny 2 on linux because of anti cheat system ...
