Linux is now the best gaming system. ｜ fernvenue's Blog

When it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.

    Can someone recommend a distro that will be used exclusively for gaming?

    I’ve not used Linux in like a decade and only know I dislike Ubuntu for reasons I can’t remember (pretty sure it’s apt fucking up my system related) I’m between Mint, PopOS, and Bazzite.

      Second vote for bazzite. It’s been so great. It’s my 8 year old son’s first non-console experience and he’s loving it.

      I’ve had zero problems with it. The only thing I’ve had to do is select the proton launch option using an easy-to-find gui setting. Everything else has been normal steam GUI stuff.

      It’s also my first experience with an immutable distro, which has been interesting for me to learn about. Knowing about those details is completely unnecessary to run bazzite though.
