Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?

With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?

What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)

I personally use nobara kde because I don’t have much time to spend on tinkering and installing things to make gaming on linux a reality. Everything I play is working fine, pre installed obs features preinstalled plugins to easily move from windows. It uses pretty fresh kernel and gpu drivers. Pretty solid foundation if You ask me.
