IME it's the older games which are easier to install and have better performance on linux.

I play Apex Legends, and I get way better performance in Linux. My regular squad mates were having graphical lag issues last weekend. Me on Linux, no issues. 120+fps

Apex anticheat works on Linux?!? I may have to switch over. I always thought it wasn't compatible and never really checked back.

If nothing else, ths is a good example of why youtube should continue to exist. At least it plays a video in full when I click on it, instead of playing 30 seconds or so, then pauses for eternal loading. I suppose having funding to improve infrastructure does have some practical value.

The video is just being transcoded, if you check in some hours it should be fine and you can always download it.

Still a issue with the platform, if a video isn’t ready for playback, it should clearly indicate as such.

That explains part of why Steam Deck is so good.
