There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

If only Linux wouldn't Bork my whole install when I try to switch to 144hz on my monitor.

You're not supposed to run "rm -rf /" to change refresh rate

Thatโ€™s a weird one. Iโ€™ve been running a 165hz primary monitor and a 144hz secondary for a while on AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs. Iโ€™ve never had any trouble with them.

Were you using Wayland or X11?

Honestly don't remember which I was running. Was a new install of testing Endevour OS with an Nvidia card. Changed the refresh rate through the display settings to 144 and it went black and never came back. Fixed it back to 60 through cli boot eventually but it never liked changing it off that.

Are you using some weird video setup? Iโ€™ve had some issues with DisplayLink but never anything worse than needing to reboot before it will work again.

Borking an entire install by pressing buttons on a monotor is pretty difficult. What exactly were you doing? Did you ask your OS' community for support?

All I did was on first install go to display settings and change to 144hz in the OS and screen then goes black and never came back. Force a shutdown and boots back to a black screen after login.

I was eventually able to change things back to 60hz and working through booting to cli but 144 never wanted to work (am admittedly using Nvidia card).

So not completely borked but not ideal at all.

Yeah, sounds like a PEBKAC problem to me. ๐Ÿ˜
