Linux is now the best gaming system. ｜ fernvenue's Blog

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.

    Until you need to install something that isnt on Flatpak. Then the flat learning curve suddenly becomes a vertical cliff :)

      At least the climbing gear is FOSS though!

      I kid, but I’m guessing Bazzite has something like openSUSE Aeon’s distrobox, which let’s you install anything you want inside of a container and expose it as an app. If not, they should consider adding it.

        They absolutely do, but i’m sure you’d agree it’s a bit technical for most people

        Edit: By technical i mean obscure, not difficult.

          It would be interesting for that to be the default shell and silently “just work” for installing stuff. They could even handle debs or rpms in the correct container. So you could pull a PPA, AUR package, etc and could just work.

      Bazzite uses boxbuddy for distro box automation. It’s literally two buttons on a gui, then the app is just another icon in your start menu. It even works well with autostart and desktop integration. It updates on its own. It has an extensive but easy to understand documentation. I’ve seen literal children do this without issue.
