    Ppl tend to sugarcoat Linux to new users, so let me make a reality check: gaming is possible on Linux, but in a limited sense, and it might cost time and sanity.

    Some games work natively, some need a workaround, some require you to craft your own solution, and some straight up won’t.

    The percentages shift, where there’s slightly more games working natively or requiring a basic workaround, but the baseline is the same.

      I dont have a windows machine, i game exclusively on linux and its got to the point where i just buy games on steam and assume they will work fine through proton. I honestly cant remember the last one that didnt. Shit i got the c&c collection on steam recently hopping to play generals with a friend, but while it works fine for me on linux its broken for him on windows.
