Hey folks. I’m a new dad which means my gaming time is at a premium, but I am going through a big cleanse of the enshittification era of the internet right now, and Windows 11 is kinda giving me bad vibes.
Last time I tried to run Linux it was ok and worked the majority of the time, but ray tracing and a few games caused some issues. I was also using game pass which of course doesn’t work on Linux, so I dropped back to windows.
How is Nvidia life these days? I’ve got a 3080 and an AMD 9800X3D so it should be fine for most games I imagine.
I’m amazed by how well it works, Proton is literally a game changer! Most of my games are older too, but I purchased the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Farming Simulator 25 on launch day or soon after with zero Linux associated issues. Not being very interested in multiplayer games helps a lot. My only multiplayer game is Elder Scrolls Online, and they’ve made Steam Deck specific tweaks, so I’m lucky there!
