Honestly Proton is great but Windows for gaming is still the best of the three main oses
- @thecookingsenpai @Titou Yet has to be said, I've been using linux for gaming for almost 2 years now, the amount of games you can play now compared to PlayOnLinux era is impressive.
  I only run into issues when the game uses windows only anti-cheats, but I don't have many of those games ( I said goodbye to League now that they are adding Vanguard ), therefor I can play fully on Linux.
  
  On this i completely agree (although 9 days later)
- I've yet to find games I can't play on Linux these days.
  
  All my games run great. I have one annoying issue that I haven't worked out the root cause of yet. But basically the issue is the computer goes to sleep/black screen whilst I'm playing with a joypad. It obviously thinks the PC is idle. However It doesn't happen with Stardew Valley so I'm thinking the issue is non-native Linux games. Currently I'm playing Dredge which is Windows only so running via Proton in Steam.
  
  do you use KDE? it's a known, old issue unfortunately. to fix, you can use: "gamemoderun %command%" as a steam launch option for each game, or you can use this as a universal solution: https://github.com/foresto/joystickwake
  
  I do yes! Thanks. I'll take a look.
  edit. Oof. A 10 year old issue.
  
  yeah, haha. interestingly, i don't have this problem, but i'm aware of the issue because i used to some years ago. so maybe it's only with certain gamepads or something? that'd explain why it hasn't had more eyes
  
  Game Pass
- depending on what kind of games you play.
  if you play mostly offline or indie games, you won't notice any difference.
  like half of online/live services games (e.g. League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege) that include anticheats are borked
- nah you're wrong, in term of performances
