    Windows runs 10 out of 10 games, Linux does 8 of which 4 only barely run at all.

    Don’t get me wrong: Windows really is the worst OS, except all the others.

      I know there’s more to PC games than just steam, but honestly the only issue I’ve had playing games on the steamdeck is when there’s some horrible anticheat service required by the game.

      I guess the problem is that the games with anticheat also tend to be quite popular ones with some people

            And I’d almost bet these two to three titles run fine in Windows which is exactly the point: what is Linux’s advantage here concerning gaming?

            When I want to play a certain title I don’t want something similar because that derivate runs on Linux. That’s maybe okay for casual games like a round of Solitaire where the Linux alternatives are fine.

              Wibdows 95 maybe… these games were old AF. Nothing made within the past 20 years has this issue.

              The only games that don’t run on Linux now, are ganes that don’t run on Windows, either
