      Nvidia is their own worst enemy as regards Linux. When everyone realizes games work better under Linux and AMD, nVidia will be crying outside the gate. We’re 5 years into Proton, in another 5 years there won’t be a game that doesn’t run better on Linux.

        When everyone realizes games work better under Linux and AMD, nVidia will be crying outside the gate.

        So you think Microsoft spends 8 billion dollars acquiring Bethesda Game Studios, Arkane Studios, id Software, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, ZeniMax Online Studios in 2020 and then proceeds to spend 68 billion dollars on acquiring Activision Blizzard…

        … just to stand on the sidelines watching everyone drop Windows as a gaming platform?

        Linux performance with proton has increased so drastically in recent years, your statement can be taken as wishful thinking at first, but there is a definite trend and I agree that Linux will probably be the powerhouse of gaming in coming years.

      Fully usable with NVidia. I can play all the games I want at the same graphical settings as Windows. (Nvidia 1080)

        That’s because you’re using fairly old hardware, anything in the 2000-series and up doesn’t work very well.

          I’m rolling an RTX 2060 mobile in a Lenovo gaming laptop and everything is hunky dory. I’ve been saying for a couple years now that everything feels faster on linux, and that includes games. Proton is truely an impressive tool.
