    Is gaming even much of a problem anymore on Linux now? All my problems come from NVIDIA or oculus BS, but not from proton or wine. Sounds like there isn’t much to perfect anymore :^)

      Absolutely:

      • lots of games don’t work
      • anti-cheat games in general still don’t work, and that’s a massive market
      • some games have terrible perf through Proton

      That said, most games work fine on Linux, but the ones that don’t are pretty popular.

        Oh, i forgot about anticheat, i dont play MP sorry. I also can’t tell when a bug is from NVIDIA or Proton, seems i conflated the two too much.

          No worries. I also don’t play MP, so the vast majority of games just work for me. However, we’re talking about broad market adoption, not you or me.

      I’d say, having to install ProtonGE to make a game work is still quite a hassle.
