When it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.

    Well, there are games you can’t play on current Windows. Like I couldn’t get Fahrenheit work on it at all. On Linux it worked first try no modifications.

    Probably not as many as 20% of games, though.

      Haven’t played Fahrenheit in forever (not since it was Indigo Prophecy on the US Steam release), but never had issues. Is it having problems with more modern Windows versions now?

        Yep, just couldn’t make it run on Win11 last time I tried, nor Win10.

        Both the normal and remastered just couldn’t run well.

          Ah, bummer. Well as long as it can run on Proton, I guess there’s no loss for me anyhow. But always a bad sign when newer OSes fail to support older games.
