Linux Mint is still going strong after being my daily driver for 4 months, and I don't think i will be going back anytime soon.

And yes I looked it up and it was the game's fault, elite dangerous odyssey can be fickle even when I had Windows 🤷♂️
I’m gonna get shit for it, but gaming on Linux really isn’t great imo.
My experience is that it’s a pain in the arse to get anything running, performance is worse, vsync is fucked, no HDR, doesn’t work with Hue Sync, and then a hundred other miscellaneous problems.
Proton is an incredible achievement from a technical standpoint, and if people are happy to put up with issues to protect their privacy then good on them, but I think people oversell how good the actual Linux gaming experience is.
P.S. I don’t need suggestions on how to fix the issues I listed. I’m more than able to resolve them if I had the time, I just don’t want to have those problems to start with.
I honestly agree, the only exception is the steam deck. I don't know how, but that thing runs games really smooth. I really want CoD, BF2042 and R6S to support Linux, these games are stopping me from daily driving linux.
Yeah, I imagine that’s helped by Valve working hard to get games running on a device they have a lot of control over, making it easier to fix/optimise games.
Gaming on Linux will obviously continue to improve, but I think it will always be playing catch up and I don’t see most game devs bothering to support it, unfortunately.

I think devs have an incentive to support it as it gains marketshare.
Easy anticheat for example didn't support #wine until after the steam deck came out
I don’t think it’s going to gain any significant market share though, or at least not until games start supporting it.
Bit of a chicken and egg situation.
