I’m a windows user currently and I do not like the software hogs up the resources after each OS update in general. I do have zero knowledge on how to use Linux in general( I’m planning to learn the basics, If I am making the transition). Games- I usually only play Apex Legends as FPS, May I know if it works on linux? Rest of the other games i play are mostly AAA games in general. I do know that with the launch of steam deck, AAA gaming in general is growing good for linux. But how are they in terms of performance? Are they worse ? Or better ? Maybe the same between the both OS? Please let me know gamers. Thank you.
I’ll be honest: In your situation i’d dual-boot windows and Linux. I’ve been with linux for 20 years now, and work on Linux as a job all day. And even my Gaming rig is running windows 11.
The way i see it:
- If you want to GAME on linux, you might struggle.
- If you want to game on LINUX, you can have a great time.
Point is, if you are set on Linux and want to Game on it, there’s a lot that works great. Most stuff is running out of the box, drivers a rarely an issue and with Wayland displays are a lot less bothersome.
But if you want to primarily Game and think Linux might give you a Resource advantage, you might be having a bad time. Multiplayer Games are iffy, AAA Games near release can be hit or miss, GPU and Display handling, while better, is still behind in Linux. And that’s talking about the cutting edge with KDE on wayland.
So, ask yourself what your primary goal is. If Gaming is the goal, than use the best tool for that, which is windows at the moment. But if your goal is to have a good time on Linux, there’s TONS of fun to be head with games that run without any fiddeling. You might need to compromise on the games you play here and there, but that’s still miles better than mac OS.
Thank you to everyone for taking your time and replying to this post 😊 Ive decided to dual boot and start learning the basics first and eventually when I get a AMD Gpu, I was planning on complete transition.
