Gaming on Linux works like a charm now

It's the multi-player side that is still an issue though. The anticheat software is a pain.

Some multiplayer, but not all. Not that that makes it perfect, but I've had minimal issues with multiplayer games. I do not play popular FPS games where anti cheat software is prevalent, so that's mostly why. I did get Ghost of Tsushima the other day, and that is not compatible for online play, but I think that's because of Sony.

Personally I've had zero issues with multiplayer. But yeah, I'm also not playing the latest twitch shooters and whatever.

This is good news to me since I don't play twitch shooters.

I'd love to run just Linux, but I don't want to hassle with dual boot for the couple of competitive shooters I do play.

It sucks because all the other games I play would run without a problem.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, totally understood.

Wonder if there's any chance the Steam Deck / Linux market share is getting large enough where gaming companies are having to seriously consider fixing this.
