    Windows runs 10 out of 10 games, Linux does 8 of which 4 only barely run at all.

    Don’t get me wrong: Windows really is the worst OS, except all the others.

      I know there’s more to PC games than just steam, but honestly the only issue I’ve had playing games on the steamdeck is when there’s some horrible anticheat service required by the game.

      I guess the problem is that the games with anticheat also tend to be quite popular ones with some people

      I thought the same thing until a couple weeks ago, then tried out EndeavourOS which is based on Arch and comes with Nvidia drivers. It’s been awesome and I’ve been able to play whatever I want.

      My favourite game was always hacking around in Wine to make games work. Once I got them working I lost interest and moved on to the next game… Now I don’t have time to play games. :(

            And I’d almost bet these two to three titles run fine in Windows which is exactly the point: what is Linux’s advantage here concerning gaming?

            When I want to play a certain title I don’t want something similar because that derivate runs on Linux. That’s maybe okay for casual games like a round of Solitaire where the Linux alternatives are fine.

              Windows 95 maybe… these games were old AF. Nothing made within the past 20 years has this issue.

              The only games that don’t run on Linux now, are games that don’t run on Windows, either

              The advantage? I genuinely have a much easier time setting up games on Linux
