It’s almost like the good ol’ days of install fests and the like! ‘End of 10’ is an organization that’s making it easy for Windows 10 users with computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, to install Linux instead of sending good hardware to the landfill.
Im hearing proton is good for games?
i second @FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee
it’s fantastic for like 85% of all games, and good to acceptable for like 10%. the only big issue is games with kernel level anti cheats, which is a problem for some gamers, mainly AAA and fps lovers.
Ahh what’s what the previous person meant by competitive games.
You can always check ProtonDB
Love this thanks!
It’s fantastic. Unless you’re playing a specific few multiplayer competitive games, it’s just like windows (sometimes even better in terms of performance - and sometimes better in terms of retro compatibility)
Nice! So long as i can still play with by siblings on some private games ill be ok.
Do note that generally speaking an AMD gpu on Linux vs Windows similarly. You can maybe expect a 1-2 FPS downgrades on average but it really depends on the game.
On the other hand, NVIDIA gpus have a bit more FPS disadvantage but it’s still not a major drawback I think? Idk how much is the fps difference
In my experience, Nvidia drivers work just fine. They’re just proprietary, and once in a while they release a faulty driver (which you can just roll back ofc). Happened to me a couple of times over the past… 14 years, fuck
Really sets the expectations from Nvidia.
Back when I switched to Linux, Nvidia worked much better than AMD cards, but everyone hates them for not providing open source drivers, understandably
Been playing for years on a nearly daily basis, from Baldur’s Gate 3 to Elden Ring to now Clair Obscur… to VR with e.g. Half-life : Alyx. That’s on my desktop and often also on my Steam Deck. So… yes, Proton is very VERY good for games!
Clair Obscur is running more smoothly for me on Linux than Windows. That doesn’t always happen, but it’s always satisfying when it does.
