I’m planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don’t want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people’s experiences doing so.

I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that’s a more curated platform compared to standard distros.

What are your experiences, good or bad?

    I stopped dual-booting 5 years ago and I already was able to play most of my library back then. It gets better every day and I even almost forgot about adding launch options now, as they mostly run out of the box.

    Anti-cheats might be a problem, especially the devs of the game refuse to use its Linux version. Or the anti-cheat is kernel-level. I also run into some games that use weird custom-made engines that won’t run. They were niche Japanese games, so I kinda understand.
