    By now you can use Linux for gaming too. Compatibility layers like Wine or Proton came a long way thanks to the steam deck.

      I have tried. For the games I like to play, this is not the case, sadly. Windows provides a vastly superior gaming experience in my case.

        No doubt windows is still better (or more seemless) overall in regards of gaming especially since Linux kinda emulates (but not really) a windows environment which requires some fiddling here and there and there are still some issues with some Anti Cheat powered games. But still you technically can game on Linux 😄

          Unfortunately, our lives don’t perform at the technical level but the practical. Gaming performance for the games I like are abysmal on linux. I appreciate linux for what it excels at but I would never suggest it to someone that wanted to game.

            @schwim
            As far I read on internet and benchnatks, If you have a working #Vulkan, the average performance between Windows and #Wine (proton) is equal. That means also, there cases where a Windows Games performs beter on a Linux with proton.
            I assume the cause is also that some gamedeveloper enhance a game for steam deck also.
            I propose to retest your case again.
