I feel that this very much depnd on which games you’re playing. Competitive or Roblox, Windows is the better choice. Majority of the games I play though works without any issues on Linux.
I’ve heard that some games even are faster on Linux even when running proton buy it isn’t anything I’ve myself has investigated.
Gaming is one of my main intrests and I’ve been playing on Linux for at least ten years. It’s not for everyone I guess.
Me and my youngest have similar specs on our computers, it was only the CPU that differed. It took a heck of a lot of time getting his windows installation to stop bsod while my linux was stable as a rock.
In the end I had to drastically lower the ram speed on his computer to get it stable.
It’s great that it works for what you play, but it doesn’t for me. Hopefully the steamdeck train continues to pick up steam, because it’s pretty much the only reason Linux gaming is gaining ground.
Less than 50% of my library runs on Linux, even including using Proton or ProtonGE. I honestly just don’t game on PC anymore outside my steam deck, which, as said, can run less than half my library, but I’m also an outlier in that I prefer console gaming in 90% of situations, so is not as big a deal to me. Until things change though, people who want to be able to play the games they buy will be at least partially locked to windows.

Claims that around 60% of my games are running on steam deck. Not sure how they calculate that though. I get the feeling that’s only verified in some capacity and that some Linux native games aren’t included. If I’m correct then that puts my numbers up around 75%.
Guessing my library ain’t representative either. Only around 10% is FPS while 40% is RPG and 40% is strategy. How ever they now define this.
Unfortunately yes, a month or so Roblox actively blocked Linux än VM:s. They claimed it is only temporarily until their new client is stable so that they can evaluate the results for windows first. General consensus seems to be that could just as well just filtered the results considering that they are able to block Linux all together.
I haven’t checked it out for a couple of weeks though so I don’t know if a workaround has been found. It’s annoying though because Roblox worked perfectly before that. I would have loved to migrate my kids computer’s to Linux as well since I got problems with rage every time I try to fix things on them 😅

Yeah, I built a new PC at the beginning of the pandemic and went Linux. I don’t even not windows and play all my games on there.
I play Apex Legends ranked. It runs better on pop os than win11 on my PC.

What tool do you use to calculate that?

As a #1 competitive Roblox player, I can agree
Is there a lot of monies in the competitive Roblox circuit?
Yeah I demand their lunch money
Ah, makes sense.
I think Roblox is the only game that has the kids booting into Windows. Another reason Roblox sucks, I suppose.
It really sucks that they went and blocked Linux. Before that it worked flawlessly. I was close to moving my kids over to Linux when they did.
Are you serious about roblox? Because I’m not much of a gamer, but kids play roblox and I was actualy planning on migrating to linux this summer.
