falseWhite comments on Fire memes as I help my friends move to Linux

99% of the steam library. Only thing I can think of right now is battlefield 6 has anti cheat that wont work. And apex. Basically the developers have to be jerks for it not to work so no reason to pay em anyways.

Fortnite too, last I checked. Because they specifically disabled Linux compatibility in their anti-cheat

It's not.

And the owner of Epic, which owns Fortnite, is rabidly anti Linux. I believe he's made some concessions to lose less of the Deck market share, but he's made many insulting and untrue statements of Linux and its users in the past as well as actively sabotaging Linux functionality in games that used to have it.

Can I run my whole steam library on linux?

Depends on the games you have. The biggest issue is anti-cheat, so competitive online games have a worse chance of working, nearly all other games should work though.

And also get the same performance from AAA games?

Again depends on the specific games. Some have worse performance than on Windows, some have better performance.

Pretty much. But if you need to test it, you can buy another drive and install linux and your games there. If it doesn't work, you can use the extra drive for something else.

In Steam on Linux, use settings to enable Experimental or Proton for Windows games.
