Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.

    If you’re not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.

    According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There’s been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.

    According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It’s a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.

      Thanks for this. The one multiplayer game I’ve been consistently playing apparently got Linux anti cheat support enabled 2 months ago.

      I think installing Linux on my gaming/work PC will be a winter holiday project for me 😀.

      Now to pick a distro.

        Is it Hell Let Loose? I started playing it since they support Linux now, very well done Battlefield-like game. I haven’t played much BF since 1942.
