i know that some games arent compitable and been to the site that shows which game is and which is not, and i also know most mods dont work on linux version which is a boomer (skyrim and rimworld mostly)?

so for gamers, why did you change to linux being a mostly a gamer?

    I’ve never played Rimworld, so I don’t know the modding situation on it.

    I attempted to mod Skyrim, and as far as I can tell, it’s not that the mods don’t work, it’s that the primary mod manager Nexus is currently using (Vortex) is kind of a pain in the ass to set up on Linux. They are currently working on a new mod manager that should be natively compatible and should resolve that issue.

    But for every other game I’ve ever modded on Linux it works exactly the same as it does on Windows.

    Truthfully, outside of the handful of games that don’t want me playing them because of my OS, 90% of my games work exactly the same, if not better. The remaining 10% might require a little tinkering to get running, or have some weird hiccup (having to run it in Proton instead of native because for some reason they’re “different versions” thus menaing I can only play with friends on Windows in the Proton version), but I honestly couldn’t be happier.

    It feels like I’m playing on my computer again, not Microsoft’s computer.

      Yee, vortex is inferior to mod manager 2 since long time tho. I guess MO2 world flawless on Linux :o
