    It’s great to see so many games, including new games being verified. I have moved all of my gaming devices over to Linux and have almost no issues playing games.

    It’s amazing what Valve has done for Linux on the game front. I switched to Linux in 2005, and back then it was so bad, you practically had to dual boot to game. When I stopped dual booting, and went heavy with custom Wine configurations for each game, it was still like a walk in the desert.

    Now Linux gaming is absolutely amazing IMO, maybe not quite on par with Windows, but sometimes it actually works better on Linux for old games, because compatibility with old 32 bit Dos based Windows, is better with Wine or Proton, than using original Windows later than Windows 98.

        I use it to play pretty much whatever I want to play while I am away from the house. I use it to play Northgard in the evenings on the couch with my wife and I dock it to the TV to let the kids play Human Fall Flat, Brawlhalla, Untitled Goose Game and Golf With Your Friends.

        It Lets me sit on the deck and play diablo while the kids are playing in the yard.

        I am also an avid linux desktop user so I get to play all this stuff on my gaming PC when I get the chance as well.

    I’m glad to see it. I have been using Garuda and Endeavour OS machines as my daily drivers and haven’t been happier. Nowadays I really can’t even tell the difference (game incompatiblities aside).

    With the “Cloud Windows OS” news recently makes me happy that I got away from it completely (a few games and software aside).
