The problem is that Linux is only ready in certain cases. For me, it isn't there yet, because I can't use it for my gaming machine. Every time this is brought up, Linux enthusiast shrug it off as "no big deal", you can game on Linux, just the games that use kernel level anti-cheat won't work. Well yeah, that's a bit the issue, I still like to play some of those games you see?
Meanwhile, I have Linux Mint running on a laptop that I bring on vacation. I don't game on that one. Then Linux works just as well as any other OS, no issue.
That's not "Linux isn't ready", it's "I still play games from companies that like to fuck with me."
It's fine, and we get it. But Linux isn't ever going to fix that.
Edit: We are seeing a lot more care from companies now that the SteamDeck is popular, so I hope your favorites get some relief.
I've accepted that I'll need a weird rig to play my favorite games that come from developers with shitty practices.
Ironically, mine tend to be Linux rigs emulating Windows to get things just right. But we do what we have to do play our favorite games.
Anyway, I'm not judging you, or your gaming choice.
I'm judging the game developers for choosing shitty tools that make our lives harder.
Luckily PCI pass-through using IOMMU works nicely these days, but I honestly still keep a Windows 10 partition for this..
It works nicely, and I use it for VR games, but it doesn't really solve the anti-cheat problem, because these anti-cheats tends to not allow VMs anyway.
