Linux Gaming FINALLY Doesn't SUCK! - briefly
(hx) 02:26 PM CEST - Sep,24 2018 - Post a comment / read (3)
Like him or hate him, Linus (not that one) has his audience, many of whom are now being swayed to try out gaming on Linux. Last month, Valve introduced a new version of Steam Play allowing Linux users to run Windows games thanks to Proton, a modified distribution of Wine. While framerates are obviously no match for the intended OS, Linus shows that at least a handful of popular games, which include DOOM and Skyrim, run well enough to play through.

it just sucks less, but it still sucks.

Steam needs a way out, since Microsoft will screw them sooner or later. They're already screwing the consumers...

The only reason I run Windows at home is gaming. Should it become possible to game credibly on Linux, I'd ditch Windows in a heartbeat.

like a broken record with Linux and gaming. I'd dump windows as well if Linux could run games reliably but it can't no matter what some BS articles say.
