    Switched to arch linux last november, didn’t had to launch my backup VM Win10 at all. I even managed to play at StarCitizen with better performance than under Win 10…

    Just wow the progress of Linux, Wine & co since my last linux try (Ubuntu, around 2010).

    I just need now to find a linux way for my music stack and all the VST (my steinberg usb card is recognized and play properly oO) and Windows will be history at home…

      Yeah ive also had s Star Citizen running in Arch. My setup didnt support game updates though so every update needed a complete redownload of the entire game which got old real fast.

      Also had Microsoft Flight Simulator running very well too which is peak irony. At first there was issues with satellite terrain and imagary as the networking was broken but a Proton update actually fixed that.

      Im incredibly impressed on the type of heavy duty window games ive got working in linux, some working very well others with slight occasional issues.

      Linux gaming isnt perfect but windows has never been either. Ive had plenty of experience over the years with some games just not running properly or at all in windows even though they should.

      Ive found many older games generally run better in Linux now in respect to modern windows, despite the compatibility layers.
