I use Nvidia hardware on Linux Mint and don’t have any issues really. Nothing that a simple glance at ProtonDB can’t usually fix.

You can’t play Kernel Level Anti Cheat games, like Valorant or BF6, but you can play some other anti cheat games like Marvel Rivals.

Performance and user friendliness experience are going to vary, distro to distro. If you’re not used to Linux, use a user friendly one, like Mint.

I haven’t had any reason to complain, but I didn’t play a lot of KLAC games before I switched to Linux Mint back in January.

Other than KLAC, I’ve only had one game not work with proton (even if I have to use launch options). It was a niche indie obscure new release though, so I’m sure, eventually, it’ll work.

Linux isn’t as difficult to learn as some people think, but you still have to learn it. I’ve not had much issues with it, and I’d never used Linux until January. I do know a micro bit more than average about PCs though. Like really, not all that much, but above average for sure.

Whatever that’s worth to you.

First of all, thank you for your kind reply! I used Linux many years ago, with Ubuntu—I'm talking about the Windows Vista era, if I'm not mistaken—so you can imagine it was love at first sight for me. Ubuntu was a rocket ship compared to Vista, but I was then forced to abandon it for gaming. Today, the situation has changed drastically, but I know that in some types of games, some cutscenes might not start! If this problem still exists today, it would be serious, because if I buy a game with only basic Linux, I'll never know if that game might have cutscenes that I won't be able to see or not.

So yeah, Linux gaming is pretty amazing these days. Not everything works flawlessly, but more things work than don't.

Usually if cutscene do not work, you can just go into the settings option on Steam and switch proton versions, and that will be enough to get they working. (Download Proton Plus, use it to download GE Proton latest and keep it updated, reboot Steam, then set the game to use that version of proton).

Only game that gives me fits is Nioh 2, and getting it to play videos just required me setting it to GE proton 7.55 or something like that. Which makes sense, older game needed an older proton version.

I hear cachyOS you basically type two lines into the terminal and steam is fully configured for gaming

You don't have to use terminal at all. In CachyOS, after you first install it, you get a welcome screen.

On that welcome window, you can click install apps, then install gaming packages, and it handles everything from there.

Oh nice, I am glad theyre integrating the option into more distros.

Sometimes I like using the terminal and its still there, but yeah when using mint cinnamon I did the same thing and loaded stuff from the install apps section

The 'cutscenes not playing issue' has largely been resolved by using Glorious Eggroll, if I’m not mistaken.

It's gotten better over time, but it's still leagues away from Windows in various ways. If you aren't willing to adjust and learn new stuff related to it, I suggest sticking to Win 11. If you are, go for it. Keep in mind that gaming on a handheld is a lot more different than gaming on a desktop/laptop.
