Today, I switched the last of my Windows machines to Linux: my gaming PC. I’ve been using Linux on servers for many years but was a bit apprehensive for gaming.

Turns out it just… works. Just installed steam and turned proton on, have zero performance or other issues. I’m using Ubuntu 25.04 for the 6.14 kernels NT emulation performance tweaks. Aside from there not being a catalyst driver for it and so I can’t undervolt my card everything is great.

    I don’t think we’re in “just works” territory yet, but we’re getting closer

    Based on the types of things you’re talking about, Windows and macOS are also not “just works.” I have to do stuff like that periodically for a lot of games regardless of OS.
