I was really suprised to see Moidawg make a switching to linux video. Milsim games involve heavy ray tracing which has dogshit preformance on linux for both nvidia and amd. Popular Milsims (like squad) often break linux compatibility when they update and some dont even work at all. On top of that hes using cachyOS and recommending others do the same after only 7 days on linux. Its just a recipe for disaster all around. It was one of the few times I appreciated the person recommending dual booting.

🤷‍♂️ works for me since before Moidawg. I like his recommendations.

I been playing milsims on linux for like 5 years and I honestly would not recommend it unless you're ok with running into issues, troubleshooting and just straight up being locked out of games. Other game Genres are fine, just milsims are finicky.

Kay. I can only repeat: works for me.
