    Out of curiosity, can you name some games that don’t work?

      I can’t recall a specific title and didn’t take notes. I think the Batman Arkhams were problematic as well as one of the Ghost Recons.

      Speaking generally, on Linux framerates were worse, stability was worse and there was more hassle to get games even running. Sometimes launching the launcher was its own adventure.

      Of course that’s a Windows-born problem as all the software is designed towards it. But what gives? Linux was (and still is) at best on par with Windows but often not even that. And this is what counts for me at the end of a working day: I don’t want to work more and then game worse.

      A cheap Windows license is like thirty quid. Nothing in comparison to the cost of even an entry-level gaming PC. And it works. And it has all the other software.

      What does Linux offer me as an ignorant gamer so I’d exchange that out-of-the-box experience?
