Linux has been a great gaming experience for me. Optimizations and what not make my games run faster than they ever did on windows. Also not being able to play rainbow six siege is a plus in my book
I’ve been using Nobara for about a year, maybe more and it really is no fuss. Comes with most things you need ready out of the box, or easily added with the post install tool. Only thing I added was Heroic Games Launcher. I set up a just in case Windows partition, but haven’t booted it since making the switch.
Tbh, I installed Mint on my gaming pc and all the games I‘m currently playing (mostly cities skylines and mechabellum) and everything worked out of the box. Mechabellum performes a bit worse than on Win11 but it‘s good enough to enjoy the game.
For example, how do I have the best experience gaming… Switch to Lin… Oh ಠ_ಠ

I literally haven’t had a problem gaming on Linux since I switched over two years ago
Lutris and Proton babyyy.
Thanks for this comment. I’m planning on making the switch soon, just need to find a low-fuss distro that I like.

Great choice, Nobara is built on Fedora and Fedora is one of the most stable distros ever.
Absolutely! I might try out EndeavourOS just for a change but honestly it’s great.
Have you heard of the Steam Deck?

Do you mod cities skylines? If so, did you mods and save files transfer over from Windows?
Both are handled through steam (cloud and workshop subscriptions) so both saves and mods were automatically synced after installation.
That being said, you have to manually enable the mods within CS, but you have to do that under windows as well after a fresh installation.
However, I‘m missing some buildings (the european looking schools), but I didn‘t bother yet to find out what happened to them.
I wish gaming on linux was bad. That’d have saved me countless hours :')
