People still use Windows? Like voluntarily?
Gamers do, because game devs suck up to Microsoft by not putting PC games on Linux or macOS. Sadly, even “indie” devs.
99,9% of all games I “own”, I can play on Linux just fine. Except fucknuggets like destiny2, which you technically could play if only bungie allowed it. Might look slightly different if you only play multiplayer, I dunno. Those with aggressive root - kits anti-cheat maybe.
Actually I even game better now. Before I made a tool just to be able to pause a game at any time, which worked like 50% of the time, sometimes fucking all up. On Linux it’s a small script with 100% success. To me, a major improvement.
I still have a windows drive for “emergencies” when a game won’t run. Haven’t booted it since I switched in January. And I game like 4-8hrs a day (with breaks) with different games all day.
Thanks to steam’s efforts, Linux gaming is absolutely viable. All is fine, performance, HDR, sound, input…nothing is worse now.
Ray tracing on linux has horrible performance.
I found it horrible on win too. Eats too much performance. I prefer 120fps over fancy RT. So couldn’t even say if it was worse or not.
For those of us who can run it, linux is an objective downgrade unfortunately.
