Mine is 30% SteamDeck and 70% Linux 😂
Linux Gaming
Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME

65% Linux, 19% VR and 16% Windows on my end, glad I contributed :3
Building a machine that does everything is coming to a household near you! The rest of us, well we've been building custom gaming machines for one or two games for a long time.
The tooling is just getting better everyday. I don't think Windows gaming will ever die but I think the experience has gotten bad enough that people have begun seeking alternatives. If this wasn't true I don't think that the SteamDeck would be so successful.
With that being said, I don't tell everyone to try Linux. I do think that Linux is good for gaming but just hard to use for most gamers. I'll probably buy a steam deck OLED in March just to "do my part" even though I have far too many custom machines and not enough time to enjoy playing the games.
Until your obscure GPU driver said no and spend weeks trying to fix it but nothing work except getting called an idiot on stack overflow
I mostly play old games that struggle even in windows sadly. I'll probably need a windows machine or VM until I die.
Ever since I built my new PC a few months ago, my chart would be completely purple. I mostly play Indie games though, and they seem to have better Linux support
Same here, I only had to run BG3 on Windows (in a VM) for very specific reasons tied to my setup.
4% on linux
Sorry but multiboxing with a compatibility layer is pure cancer, for some reason proton just keeps gobbling up resources until the clients eventually become unplayable and need to be restarted.
alt tab doesn't work for switching and also MINIMIZE ON FOCUS LOSS? fuck you linux, absolutely fuck you.
