Dislike button is removed from Youtube... Time to make some waves! These 5 things are reasons NOT to use Linux. Support My Work------------------------------...
Do you agree? If not, what’s your counter arguments?
Nowadays, with Steam, most games are just install-and-play. For non-Steam games, Lutris does a good job of handling the tedium, though it is an extra step vs installing on Windows. Other marketplaces/launchers are generally covered by some third-party alternative that has most of the relevant functionality.
So far, I haven’t had any issues with any purchased games under Linux. If it doesn’t run as-is after installing, it’s just been a question of choosing Proton in a drop-down menu. I’ve been Linux-only for about two years now, and gaming used to be the only thing that kept me locked into Windows. That said, there are games that won’t run at all under Linux, often due to anti-cheat software.
I am a very casual gamer, and at the beginning I might have struggled a bit with all the mechanics of Proton, Lutris etc etc.
When I look for games I usually double check on ProtonDB, if there is any fix to be applied. For this reason, I can say 95% of MY games are just install and play.
The only game I had a problem with was Skyrim, which needed a FPS limiter to avoid glitching at the beginning.
Without knowing what you play, how many games would you say are as easy to install as under Windows and how many needed some additional encouragement?

Thanks for asking.

And the opening of Skyrim has been known to glitch out on Windows, too.
