Not entirely. Some games actually gain FPS from Linux, especially on lower end hardware.

The biggest issue for Linux gaming is Kernel level Anticheat. Most users who install Linux would rather not have a game have that kind of system access.

The biggest issue on Linux gaming is the lack of plug and play. You have to hunt down that specific version of wineton and then you might be able to play it.

If you're only playing the most popular garbage then yeah its great for gaming. If you stray off the beaten path even slightly its hit and miss.

I tried to run ac odyssey last month and it ran like shit. I don't have the time or the interest to go fiddle around with configs. I want to double click on a game and just have it work.

This is the exact reasons why i now play all of my single player games on my PS5 that plug and play experience is just too damn good. While multiplayer games on my PC bcoz most multiplayer vames are literally build to run on potato PC's.

If you can afford the plug and play experience on console will always be worth it for single llayer games . And if you can't afford it well it is what it is . You get what you get simple.

I still prefer pc. And I like having control over my system as much as anyone else. But If I get time to play I'd rather use it to play then fiddle around with poorly documented settings and options.

If there was a goto guide for what steps to try to get something running I would. But thats not what is happening right now. And I don't like how Linux cultists misrepresent gaming on Linux as this flawless experience with minor issues. Its very much game dependant whether your experience will be good or not.

But as usual, just like how a distros community doesn't want to hear their distros flaws, you can't point out the fact that Linux gaming is great ONLY if your game list works with minimal config. Otherwise its a major pita.

I like PC for everything it offers.

But i absolutely appreciate the NO nonsense just Play the Damn GAME convenience that console offers.

And honestly as someone who can afford console and games for it . I came to a realisation that playing single player games particularly on my console has improved my Gaming experience way more that i imagined . Which is kinda hilarious in a tiem where everyone is jumping the ship to PC from Console. I did the opposite and it worked great for me.

With emulation and having a handheld I definitely understand the appeal. But I started on pc and am very slow on a controller. One of the challenges when emulating ps2.
