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.
So oddly enough when I went to get the specs on the laptop I had it on and installed it just for funsies while I was at it and it seems to be working better now… At least in the 10 minutes or so I played around with it. Not sure what the problem was before, maybe some update was made since then or something. Gonna mess with it more this weekend.
