Still can’t play most competitive fps games on Linux. There’s a couple, but the majority are still windows only.
My reasoning is that it’s way too inconvenient to need to restart my pc multiple times a day if I want to play games. Add in that my audio solution doesn’t work at all on Linux (GoXLR) that requires me to use a separate set of peripherals and it just becomes less of a hassle to use windows over Linux.
By „can‘t play“ do you mean natively? Because proton makes it possible to play a ton of games.
Anti-cheats block Linux. EAC theoretically supports it, but from what I can tell it’s a less secure option for both windows and Linux, ensuring a lot of devs never turn it on.
Also idk what it is, but proton performance seems to be ~1/2-1/3 of what I get on native windows for pretty much every game. Had to give up on BG3 on Linux after I maxed out at ~40fps and huge stutters.
Maybe we have different standards, but i am more than happy with 20-25 fps on low to medium settings.
Also, most competetive games that i know run on very old machines without that much issues.
Then there’s something wrong with your setup. At most, I’ve seen 20% fps loss through proton.
