Just curious if anyone else here primarily games on Linux? Steam Deck counts!
Built a new desktop a while back, and i decided to go Linux first for this one. Haven’t gamed a ton, but everything I’ve tried just worked without issues (steam/proton). I’ml pretty happy with it!
I still have a Windows partition, but i only use that for Battletech with mods and anything i can’t run on Linux. Haven’t booted into that one in weeks…
Yup, I play exclusively on Linux, and have for several years now. I remember when Steam came to Linux, and later when Proton became a thing, so I’ve seen some stuff. :)
These days I’m lazy and 90% of my gaming is on my Steam Deck, but I do occasionally play on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system. I have kids and they play Minecraft on my computers as well (I have a server setup on our network).

I and don’t think these are all such communitiesCool thanks. Ya I had already found the community on lemmy.ml didn’t know about the others.
I primarily play games on Linux (on desktop, not steam deck). I’ve been doing so for about 6 years or so. Steam + Proton and other gaming-focused wine builds have made gaming on Linux far better than I could have ever imagined. The only thing that keeps me on Windows is primarily work related stuff. I work in game development (specifically VR), where Windows is pretty much a necessity :').
My work is all windows too. I work in Finance so Linux unfortunately won’t work. But at home I’m all Linux!
I do! I mostly play dark souls and other souls-like games and they work just fine, it’s really comfy TBH. I don’t have a steam deck since it’s expensive where I live :(
Me for the past 2 years.
Sometimes I gotta do a bit of tinkering, but it’s nonetheless doable, and it’s only been getting better.
Stopped using Windows for games when I stopped playing Destiny lol. Everything else I play save a couple neptunia games work fine under proton.
Also, I use Arch, BTW 🤣. I only use Windows at work. Might spin up a vm though since I saw a way to run adobe programs from a vm in a window on Linux earlier.
