  Yes…Yes it does. Ask me how I know. Actually I’ll just tell you: I use it every day.

    It doesn’t for everybody. What is so hard to grasp about the fact that your experience isn’t a general truth?

      You install the same OS, you get the same experience. That’s what’s hard for me to understand.

        Then think about it this way:

        You install the same os, you don’t get the same experience.

        That’s it. Like really simple.

    That’d be cool if that was true… But I installed nobara on my brand new PC and kingdom come crashed when I fast traveled, Hades 2 ran at like 20 fps, and dragons dogma just wouldn’t launch. I get Linux is cool and all but I don’t have time to troubleshoot every game I install anymore…

      Not quite “just works” but I’d be willing to bet that your computer defaulted to the iGPU instead of your dGPU because you didn’t specify as such in your launch options

        I’d be willing to get those games run fine on a console and in Windows with no extra steps.

      It is true. I specifically mentioned Chimera and Bazzite. The experience is totally different with those. Also if you have an Nvidia GPU, you’re probably going to have a bad time regardless. Left that bit out. But I solved that problem by switching to AMD.

  How do you know? Are you some kind of wizard?

    I am indeed. I’m actually pretty proficient with OSX and Linux…but fuck me…getting games to run is a whole new level of hell. I fucked around with it for a day or two trying to get my gaming laptop to run steam games in Ubuntu…wasn’t worth it.

      1. What games? That’s a VERY big part of this whole process.
      2. What are the laptop specs? The hardware is also a massive part of it.

      Huh. I use Arch (obligatory btw) and iirc I just installed steam and it worked. 4th gen i5 with an rx 480 and things like Elite Dangerous run fine, the problem starts with UE5 but that’s a hardware issue.
