Linux is now the best gaming system. | fernvenue's Blog
blog.fernvenue.comWhen it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.
SSD speed only affects boot time. Which on any reasonable SSD isn’t bad.
Linux distros can use a good bit less ram than windows, but the gap isn’t that big. Unless you’re borderline on windows Linux won’t make much of a difference. Especially the more noob friendly distros since they tend to be more bloated.
And they only talk about games built for windows through proton/whatever because native games suck balls. Proton emulating windows made Linux gaming good. Native Linux gaming is still typically worse than native windows.
