When it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.

    I agree with your first paragraph, if you just got hooked to these games and want to compromise your own privacy and security by playing these games, that is your own trade offs.

    But your second paragraph claims that not compromising security and privacy means you have to deal with cheaters. That is false. The games who support Linux do not have more cheaters. In fact, there’s plenty of cheaters all over the anti Linux games, such as destiny and league.

    Also there are plenty of multi-player and competitive games on Linux. It’s only a few who do not (who admittedly also happen to be some of the more popular titles). I only agree with this sentiment if you’re hooked onto the specific games that are anti Linux, not the competitive multi-player genre.

      Apart from the problem of my friends sticking with the same games I play regardless of my decision, the other problem is… yes, most people usually play the games that most people play. I also happen to be in that (high) percentage, so there’s not much room.

      BTW I’ve been playing League for a long time, and while cheaters have been a thing for a while, in my experience it practically became a nonexistent problem recently. It doesn’t prove anything, just saying that League isn’t in the ‘cheaters all over’ category anymore (imho).

      Thankfully, Rocket League is actually pretty decent in this regard, so that’s a “safe” one - but there’s several more that still necessitates Windows, so I don’t see the point of going back and forth in dual boot every time I switch games.
