  • Full time Linux user for about 6 years now. Both at work and at home.

    If games is what’s holding you back, don’t worry about it so much. There are very few games that don’t run on Linux these days, like you said, because of anticheat, or just because the underlying company is horrible. Valorant comes to mind for games, Epic and EA for companies.

    Some example of game i’ve been playing on Linux, with no issues: Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Everspace 2, Dying Light, Sekiro, Warhammer 40k: Darktide, Guild Wars 2, Doom Eternal, Elite Dangerous, Valheim, Minecraft etc…

    There’s more things working than not working these days.

    That said, I would also be lying if I said there isn’t going to be a learning curve. It’s a little bit more work (especially for games not available on Steam), but it’s really not that bad, and the community is very helpful.


  • Here’s the thing:

    Fatigue is normal, but will get worse over time if you don’t address it.

    First, recognize that you might be putting too much on yourself. If you studied / programmed 10 minutes a day, every day, you would achieve more than someone who studied 2 hard hours every weekend. So consider whether you’d be fine doing a half an hour or less on some days if you don’t have the energy.

    Also as others have pointed out, memorizing everything isn’t that useful, practicing is. Build something fun!
