Proton is such an excellent win! In my expereince with the steam deck, theres only a small handful of games that have problems but even then, those are games that I kind of forgot about.
I can’t wait to see how well it gets better over time. One step closer to me switching to linux full time on desktop! If only it wasnt for a few proprietary software that i need for work i would have switched over yesterday!
Yeah, same for me. Basically, just a few games with anti-cheat (or poorly implemented anti-cheat) are the only issue for me. Most other things can be made to work, even if there can be some jank involved. But even then, 70-80% of games "just work" and it's amazing.
I've been using Linux exclusively for 4+ years now, it's amazing whenever you can achieve it. You could consider dual-booting for your system, or running windows in a VM if the software you need isn't something that requires a ton of horsepower.
Right?? Honeslty Linux for gaming is so good right now.
The idea of using VM has been on my mind for Linux! I'll have to consider it especially since my desktop is a workstation powerhouse, it'll easily run a Windows VM no problem. I have at least been using Linux full time in my laptop for a while now! It just works so well especially as a laptop os.
