I only use Windows to play like 5 of my 700 steam games and that's pretty much it. These days I'm using Windows like 2 days a month.

I wish I could do this, but I like HDR way too much, and Linux's support for it is half implemented at best. There's no way to convert SDR videos and games to HDR in Linux at all, either. That means no AutoHDR, and no RTX HDR. I can't go without.

You know tens of thousands of Steam games play on Linux now, right? Check out Valve's ever growing ProtonDB if you need to confirm yours.

Get a USB to boot off, have Ubuntu or Mint installed and playing games in no time. it's100× easier than setting up Windows and way faster. All your hardware will be good to go, you just gotta click language, keyboard type,.a few other personal preferences at the start.

Once Steam is installed (it'll be in your app store), toggle the compatability switch in settings menu and you're done. In most cases your games will run equal or better in performance.

Seriously, this could be done in 30 mins.

Wow. Guy says he only uses windows for five games, and you have to mansplain Linux gaming to him.

Context, my dude. Lol

I'm literally duel booting with Arch and Windows. I just use Windows for games like Helldivers 2 mostly because it runs like butt on Linux for me. Other than that there are like 3 or so more games that don't let me play because of the anti-cheat.

Please tell me this is a copypasta and you're not just that socially inept.

Course you can. It's called a Linux update.

And people wonder why I disable the update system?
