Gaming on Linux is there, if you don't mind the 10-40 fps drop in most modern and demanding games...

For me that's a no go.

I can live with bash in a WSL2 though... That's about what I need of Linux anyway. I can enjoy my gaming and the remaining of the userland too.

Best of both worlds.



What you’re saying doesn’t align with what PC reviewers are stating outright though.

The Legion GO being the most prime example[0].

Some games work better on Linux, some worse, but largely comparable[1].

I don’t believe that reviewers are paid to promote this view.

Compare PC for PC, not some kind of handheld-device-you-decided-to-pick-just-for-your-sake-of-argumenting.

Even freaking Phoronix, which is quite "pro linux"

Let's stop the gaslighting here, it doesn't work with me.

Thank you, have a good day.


Ohhhhkay, weirdly hostile.

What game would you like me to run on my Threadripper 3970x with Radeon VII?


Battlefield 6


so when you say modern you mean something released in the last four days.

Maybe that’s where our communication has broken down
