Are you living under a rock ? Gaming is working in linux now.
What I meant was that it is starting to get simple to play games using Linux now.
I'm not a teenager anymore who enjoys getting games to work by editing settings outside of games like during the Win 3.11 and MS-DOS days.
After decades working IT jobs I don't want to do work when I'm trying to relax. Linus will have a nearly seamless system when Win 10 reaches EOL.
I haven't entirely switched in part due to Rainbow Six Siege not working on Linux. Something about Battleye supports it but Ubi hasn't done the few simple steps to allow it. So it's not entirely working yet
Edit: Apparently this is one of the best ways to let Ubisoft know that players want this fixed https://r6fix.ubi.com/projects/RAINBOW6-SIEGE-LIVE/issues/LIVE-49179
Oh yes, another "No, I refuse to check the box" devs/publishers. Literally the company that made BattleEye compatible with Proton won't enable the damn thing on their most popular game. There just needs to be a big enough outcry. Which as 10 hits EOL and the SteamDeck continues to sell, the Linux userbase will grow.
