@Sunshine Agree! Left Windows decades ago. Except for some ocassional office compability snafus and still poor gaming, it does everything I need and well.

Gaming is catching up. Valve has done a tremendous job getting games supported with Proton on SteamOS

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

There will always be a game that is not supported.

@naonintendois @craigcorbin catching up? From what I heard, Linux surpassed winlol in gaming for certain titles, but yes, if you take the average, there's still a gap, and it's becoming smaller and smaller

@naonintendois Cool. I'll have to check that out. Thanks.

Still poor gaming? I have all of my games working with zero effort on Steam. The only exception are my sim racing peripherals.

@AstralPath Good news. I tried a few games in October but the graphics were off. I'll have to give them another try. My machine is pretty old, too, so I may need to upgrade. Thanks

Definitely give it a go! My machine isn't crazy modern by any means but it's decent.
