Interesting read and I learned some new things about how gaming on Linux works. Kinda want to run a VM tonight and see how good old Fedora feels after all these years lol. I love that Valve is showing such support and helping develop gaming in the Linux world too. Good on them!

Eu gostava de utilizar Ubuntu apenas para programação e arte digital. Tinha problemas para rodar jogos MMORPGS que não ofereciam suporte ao Linux.

it is good to know about linux, I have always been told that it is complicated to play some types of games, I personally have never used linux but I find this system interesting.

Es bueno saber esto de linux siempre me han comentado que es complicado para jugar algunos tipos de juegos, yo en lo personal nunca he ocupado linux pero me parece interesante este sistema.

the thing I like about these topics is choice.

if games were coded natively to linux then that would be great.

but on cases where we need a third party software to play games and encounter issues that would be enough to curse linux.

in the end it's all about player/user experience. and deep down we want to experience the best. linux is a good substitute but we will always pick the platform that will give us best experience possible.

good read.

And that best for me turns out to be Linux 😅

Choice is the most important thing, I agree. That's why I always say "Only switch if you can bare it."

I'm no annoying Linux advocate, even if I like to speak highly of it. The fact that it's open source and that it can look how I want it to are what make me love it.

I've never used Linux in my life, I've only seen a friend use it once on his computer and I thought it was weird. Thank you very much for the enlightening information.

This was a great way to introduce Linux as a gaming platform@ I've seen many people use it but have stuck to Windows just to keep it simple. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing off some examples of the key differences on Linux.

Most mainstream distributions of Linux have been as easy (or in some cases easier) to use than Windows for a long time. Not constantly forcing reboots for updates is a plus. These days I mostly use Debian derivatives, usually either Xubuntu or Mint

Two great choices. I love how lightweight Xubuntu is and I love how Mint looks as well. I'd use Mint if Cinnamon had Wayland support.
