     @itsfoss it never has been better for #LinuxGaming . Yet there is still a long way to go, until the last developers see that #Linux is here to stay and can't be ignored anymore. Linux is the past, the present and the future. And just as Microsoft once said, Linux is CANCER ! It slowly but surly eats Microsofts former marketshare, especially on the #dEsktop. ( on servers , appliances and embedded there is no more competition ;] ) Linux FTW , all the way! #OpenSource OR BUST!

     @itsfoss overall great. The only issue I have personally, are 3rd party modding utilities. Like bg3 mod manager and stuff for cyberpunk. The games run great. Being able to mod them is not so great.

     @Aaron Indeed, anticheat is a pain point for gaming on Linux.

     @itsfoss Its at a point where it just works, at least with steam.

     The compatible catalog is comparable to consoles. Not everything is there, but more than enough to make it a viable platform for gaming.

     One of the big problems that still holds it back is anticheat. This won't change until devs really support it.

     In a way, valve has solved the chicken egg problem with proton, so I hope adoption will rise.

     @itsfoss I no longer require a Windows partition on my desktop. Everything I want to play either has a native Linux version or runs perfectly in Proton. Fantastic!

     @itsfoss Getting better. However, three things that I need for a full change-over;

     Much better support for Logitech G keyboards. I've used the G15/G510 for well over a decade, and Linux support is poop.

     2-channel positional psychoacoustics. Windows Sonic for Headphones is amazingly good at this, even on low-spec USB sound devices.

     Battlenet games. Yeah, I'm old, and set in my ways. 90% of my PC gaming time is in WoW. Bnet support is wonky at best.
