i’ve been interested in switching to linux for gaming but i’m not sure how the games i play run; i like to play Apex legends and Overwatch 2 competitively. can linux run these games with low latency and high frame rate? i’m looking into the Nobara project and pikaOS distros
Usually the games can run as solid as on windows. Only issue tends to be anti-cheat software not playing nice. Apex seems to function well via Proton. Checkout ProtonDB for a list of what’s working.
I get basically the same performance on OW2 with Lurtis and Garuda versus Windows. It’s pretty much competitive now.
Both OW2 and Apex work on Linux. I don’t play competitively but I don’t think there should be any issues. Folks on ProtonDB and Lutris can confirm comparability as well.
Performance should be comparable to Windows, maybe slightly worse. Usually online games with anticheat don’t work on Linux, but OW and Apex do work.
Nobara is pretty good, I’ve heard nothing but good things.
i’ve seen and heard nothing but good things about it as well. just so many distros to choose from
League of Legends works too!
