Just curious if anyone else here primarily games on Linux? Steam Deck counts!

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!

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...

I now only play the games on Windows which definitely don't run on Linux. In my case, these are only very few (time reasons and I am only interested in a few new games at all) and usually the copy protection or the cheat protection is the reason why.

I've been almost exclusively using my steam deck for gaming since I got it.

I did briefly use a linux desktop for gaming, but I got a VR headset and it wasn't well supported at the time so I went back to Windows for that.

Yep I do on my PC, was using windows till like 4 months ago. Don't have really any issues with it. Wish anticheat worked but otherwise I'm chilling.

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).

Nice. Yeah my main gaming PC is running arch linux. I have the steam deck, but have mainly used it for emulation. I also run a homelab (small one) that runs proxmox (which is just a gui / tools on top of debian) and then laptop running ubuntu

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.

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 :(
