Let's talk gaming on Linux
Assorted questions. As always, don't feel like you have to treat them like a quiz and answer them one-by-one (though you certainly can), but more like jumping off points for discussing whatever...
Assorted questions. As always, don't feel like you have to treat them like a quiz and answer them one-by-one (though you certainly can), but more like jumping off points for discussing whatever you feel is relevant:
- Who here games on Linux?
- How long have you been doing it?
- What is your setup like? Full-time Linux? Dual booting? GPU Passthrough?
- Which distro do you use, and why? Did gaming-related factors have an influence on that choice at all?
- What are some of the positives about gaming on Linux?
- What are some of the drawbacks/frustrations?
- What are some of your favorite native Linux games?
- What are your thoughts on the main gaming platforms' support or lack thereof for Linux?
- Do you personally feel a friction between open source philosophy and playing closed-source games?
- Do you think that Valve's Proton initiative is a help or hindrance for Linux gaming?
Share anything else you feel is relevant as well. I'm mostly interested in hearing what other people's experiences are.
Also, I debated whether to put this in ~games or ~tech and ultimately decided on the former, but if it's better placed in ~tech I'm fine with that.
