Why not just play games on linux?

    Does it now? I have an Arc B580 and Linux drivers are lackluster at best.

    Pretty sure everyone warned that Intel drivers would be iffy regardless of OS and to only buy if you're okay being a beta tester for Intel.

    The linux AMD GPU driver is superior to their windows driver

    my god linux and intel graphics drivers were so easy for me to setup. Even got HDR running first attempt which is apparently hard. No idea why, may have just been the distro made it easy.

    I figure that at least a few games I like to play are not compatible with Linux. I haven't yet gotten the full list of games that won't run on it but I'd hedge a bet that there's more than one. One of them which I play a lot, Warframe, is apparently a bit buggy on it. I'm a sucker for multiplayer games and if there is kernel level anti cheat on them it might cause things to break.
