From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Games just run on my Linux laptop these days. I stopped checking winehq a long time ago.
ProtonDB is the first place I go before buying a game, most of the time games work, but there's a few occasions where I have to change some configurations.
I used to do that too, but I don't bother anymore. It just works.
Yep, most games run fine. But I do still have to check if the anti-cheat supports Linux.
indeed. Anticheats are the last holdouts.
I don't have any issues with performance, just with anticheat not being compatible with my most played games.
I do tend to check protondb, people tend to have figured out the best options for the most stable performance for a lot of games.
So does linux
