    I mean, it runs everything I need. But what is mainstream gaming to everyone else? Is it fortnite? Call of duty? Destiny 2? Pubg? Valorant? GTA? Battlefield? (weirdly a lot of shooters), Apex? Siege?

    May not matter to people like us but they each command something to the effect of hundreds of thousands of concurrent players. Capable as Linux distros are for gaming (truly the best way to experience classic games) the anticheat situation is no less dire.

    Linux gaming and Playstation gaming is gonna be my combo in the next few years.

    Playstation for demanding titles or sim racing and Steam Deck for the rest.

    Then, at one point, depending on some of Sony’s decisions, Linux gaming might be the only one left.

      Sim Racing is one of the reasons I am still on windows. I can play most of my games nicely with Linux, but I spend a huge chunk of time racing in the evening. And it is just very hit and miss, and hardware can be a bit of a pain.

      Unfortunately it is easier to just stay in windows than reboot every time I want to play something else.
