I've been running Pop!_OS with the Cinnamon desktop environment on my machine at home for the past 3 months. I'm very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. All my games run in Steam or Lutris.

Fuck Microsoft.

For me the same, but with kubuntu. Linux is really ready to be used as a desktop.

Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won't work in a VM, anyway

Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I only play games that work native or via proton. I just use windows for the CAD programs that i need to use. I do gpu pass through and native for my host system idk how this would be for gaming tho.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

I have heard, though not tried, that GPU passthrough works for those diminishingly few problematic games where a certain anti-cheat is the sticking point.

[–] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

I've tested it, and while it does work, there are some issues:

The anti-cheat doesn't work for all games (delta force demo).
Sometimes i had strange sound glitches.
I had to use a second mouse. In certain games where you drag the camera (like Sins of a Solar Empire), the camera spins uncontrollably fast.
It's not as fast or responsive, but good enough.
Game Pass games don't run.

Because of these points, I still keep Windows 10 as a dual boot option.

Even on Pro or Enterprise editions? I can't imagine businesses tolerating this never mind governments.
