    I started to get better 5 years ago. These days it’s at least 60-70% where Windows is with respect to gaming. According to protondb.com, 78% of the top 100 steam games (and 75% of the top 1000) are directly playable on linux with no or very little tweaking required.

      Actually except for one eac game (Hunt) I don’t have to switch anymore.

      Stellaris, Zomboid, Splitgate, …

      Though getting the best “quality” for some of the games was challenging (struggling with differing monitor Hz on X11 and nvidia)

        Hunt is why I’m still rocking windows too 😭

        Well that, and some work stuff that doesn’t work on Linux, bleh

          Hunt runs on Linux! I play it on Linux with my Windows friends. Some people even see improved framerates, lol. They flipped the “enable EAC for Linux” switch on steam earlier in the year.

          I don’t know about you, but while I think its an amazing game (art, idea), the current state is not. It just feels like crytek is milking it and some big upgrade to the engine is long overdue.

          So, I don’t really have to switch too often, only if we get full lobby with friends.
