i know that some games arent compitable and been to the site that shows which game is and which is not, and i also know most mods dont work on linux version which is a boomer (skyrim and rimworld mostly)?

so for gamers, why did you change to linux being a mostly a gamer?

    The Venn diagram of games I want to play and games that won’t run on Linux is two disjoined circles. My buddy really likes Helldivers, but that didn’t play nice because of the invasive anti-cheat. That has been the only one.

        Helldivers 1 and 2 are platinum and gold rated on ProtonDB with recent reports on both confirming they work well.

        For a more recent report:

        I’m literally playing Helldivers 2 right now, on Wayland with HDR, and an Nvidia graphics card.

        I just assume games work now and rarely need to check protondb. All of the games with kernel Anticheat are just as scummy as Microsoft with their microtransactions and FOMO systems intended to manipulate their players… so, I don’t care to play them anyway.

      Sad to hear Hell Divers doesn’t work. Odd that they’d be so strict, it’s CoOp

      I switched to Linux at the start of this year, and it’s been great, some small hiccups but nothing I couldn’t solve in a few min
