Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve's push for Linux gaming.

I'm gaming with no issues in Linux desktop, since the arrival of the steam deck

I decided about three years ago to give "100% Linux" gaming a go for a few months, since I was fed up with Windows shitting itself on a dual-boot system, see how I got on. Never went back. It does help that I'm not in to MMOs or things which require anti-cheat, since that's a stumbling block, but it's rare that I even check protondb before purchases now, nearly everything just works and it keeps getting better.

I wish Linux worked with anti-cheat Most games I play have some kind of anti-cheat, haven't used Linux for anything but school and work (cybersecurity) for the past 10 years... before that I didn't have a gaming PC so I had a Linux laptop and I'm excited to get rid of windows
