    I migrated away from Windows to Cachy OS earlier this year and I’ve never been happier. Linux still isn’t perfect for gaming but it’s night and day compared to the last time I tried like 10 years ago.

    The fungal infection of AI in everything in Windows 11 finally tipped me back fully into Proton-land, and I run Garuda and couldn’t be happier. All my games run, sometimes more smoothly than they even did on Windows, and I am reunited with my love: gnome3. Thank you, Valve. Thank you Linus.

    I want to go Linux on my main gaming system coz I like KDE and GNOME more than ugly ass Windows 11, but I just don’t want to deal with compatibility crap.

        As a primary Linux user, there are many cases that don’t work. Many kernel level anti cheat (which I would refuse to install on windows anyway), some games have noticeable worse performance (obscure expedition 33 has low average fps and terrible dips on linux, but it’s “OK” on windows for my specific hardware ).

        On average, I think Linux is still better, but YMMV depending and what games your want and what HW you have.

    Switched on my daily driver around 2016 and have been doing all but VR gaming on Linux since about 2019. I would totally recommend it to any one as long as they aren’t a tripple a, release day kinda gamer.
