    I feel like there’s a “bell curve” for Linux gaming enjoyment.

    If you’re even a little techy, like not using your PC begrudgingly and mostly live in iOS or whatever, the switch will feel like a relief. But many PC users aren’t; they arent interested in what a OS or file system is, they just want League or Sims to pop up and that’s it.

    …And then there’s me. I use Linux for hours every day, I’m pretty familiar with the graphics stacks and such… But I need the performance of stripped, neutered Windows I dual boot for weird, modded sim games I sometimes play. And frankly, it’s more convenient for many titles I need to get up and running quick for coop or whatever. There’s also tools like SpecialK that don’t work on Linux, and help immensely with certain games/displays.
