For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster. (video.hardlimit.com)

A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free.

DISCLAIMER: I don't really care to make Linux look better but I did a video some days ago and EVERYONE (on Reddit) told me Linux gaming CANNOT be faster or smoother. This is the proof it's both and more videos will be coming.

I want to switch to Linux and I would love to game on it daily, but just like so many people, software incompatibility is holding me onto Windows.

In my case, it's Parsec that I need, because I game a lot with friends who live in other countries. And unfortunately, Steam's remote play together feature is very broken on Linux (I remember even filing bug reports about it when I was daily driving Linux two-ish years ago.

Only the client part though, hosting is disabled on the linux version for some reason.

Oh I didn't know that, thanx for letting me know! :)

Yup, it sucks they haven't implemented it yet. I'd switch in a heartbeat

That's as a client, not a host. What I need is hosting :p Thanks tho

Ditto.

Longtime windows and Linux user, my last several machines have all been dual-boot.

I’ve tried multiple times to get gaming to work right with Linux, whether it be Unbuntu or just plain Debian, but something always gets in the way. Graphical issues, sound issues, controller incompatibility, platform incompatibility, unable to launch game, whatever. I give up and just stick with windows and use Linux for other things.

Only one HoYoverse game made fully compatible with Proton-GE
