Cool thanks. Ya I had already found the community on lemmy.ml didn't know about the others.

I primarily play games on Linux (on desktop, not steam deck). I've been doing so for about 6 years or so. Steam + Proton and other gaming-focused wine builds have made gaming on Linux far better than I could have ever imagined. The only thing that keeps me on Windows is primarily work related stuff. I work in game development (specifically VR), where Windows is pretty much a necessity :').

My work is all windows too. I work in Finance so Linux unfortunately won't work. But at home I'm all Linux!

linuxgaming@lemmy.ml exists. Also steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

I now only play the games on Windows which definitely don't run on Linux. In my case, these are only very few (time reasons and I am only interested in a few new games at all) and usually the copy protection or the cheat protection is the reason why.

I've been almost exclusively using my steam deck for gaming since I got it.

I did briefly use a linux desktop for gaming, but I got a VR headset and it wasn't well supported at the time so I went back to Windows for that.

[–] away2thestars@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah since I got my deck all my gaming even desktop gaming is in Linux: heroic launcher, steam, Xbox cloud, lutris that's all you need

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yep I do on my PC, was using windows till like 4 months ago. Don't have really any issues with it. Wish anticheat worked but otherwise I'm chilling.

Both steam deck and on Debian on the laptop. I've more Linux devices but I don't game on them.

[–] imperator@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Nice. Yeah my main gaming PC is running arch linux. I have the steam deck, but have mainly used it for emulation. I also run a homelab (small one) that runs proxmox (which is just a gui / tools on top of debian) and then laptop running ubuntu
