Today, I switched the last of my Windows machines to Linux: my gaming PC. I’ve been using Linux on servers for many years but was a bit apprehensive for gaming.
Turns out it just… works. Just installed steam and turned proton on, have zero performance or other issues. I’m using Ubuntu 25.04 for the 6.14 kernels NT emulation performance tweaks. Aside from there not being a catalyst driver for it and so I can’t undervolt my card everything is great.
Step 5. Watch it reboot overnight and download even more useless bloat
Oh and step 7: Spend 10 minutes quitting, restarting discord and then restarting your pc to fix innumerable and common audio bugs caused by terrible windows drivers.
Oh yeah, and every restart takes 10 minutes of “preparing updates”
Or quit out of your game to restart and install updates.
