Just curious if anyone else here primarily games on Linux? Steam Deck counts!

Me for the past 2 years.
Sometimes I gotta do a bit of tinkering, but it’s nonetheless doable, and it’s only been getting better.
Built a new desktop a while back, and i decided to go Linux first for this one. Haven’t gamed a ton, but everything I’ve tried just worked without issues (steam/proton). I’ml pretty happy with it!
I still have a Windows partition, but i only use that for Battletech with mods and anything i can’t run on Linux. Haven’t booted into that one in weeks…
Stopped using Windows for games when I stopped playing Destiny lol. Everything else I play save a couple neptunia games work fine under proton.
Also, I use Arch, BTW 🤣. I only use Windows at work. Might spin up a vm though since I saw a way to run adobe programs from a vm in a window on Linux earlier.
Yep. Fedora on a Razer blade.
I game as my primary hobby and switched to Linux in 2015. Never going back. If I switch to anything it will be to BSD.
Both steam deck and on Debian on the laptop. I’ve more Linux devices but I don’t game on them.
Nice. Yeah my main gaming PC is running arch linux. I have the steam deck, but have mainly used it for emulation. I also run a homelab (small one) that runs proxmox (which is just a gui / tools on top of debian) and then laptop running ubuntu
I primarily play games on Linux (on desktop, not steam deck). I’ve been doing so for about 6 years or so. Steam + Proton and other gaming-focused wine builds have made gaming on Linux far better than I could have ever imagined. The only thing that keeps me on Windows is primarily work related stuff. I work in game development (specifically VR), where Windows is pretty much a necessity :').
My work is all windows too. I work in Finance so Linux unfortunately won’t work. But at home I’m all Linux!
I’d say I do 90% of my gaming on Linux. There’s really only a very small number of games I have to use Windows for, and recently have just been going without. To be fair though, I’m also not the biggest gamer in the world, only playing a few games with friends every now and then.
I don’t play much either. If I’m lucky couple hours a week. But I usually just play by myself.
There are very few games I can really sit back and enjoy alone. For me, gaming has turned into almost exclusively a social activity, with some rare exceptions here and there.
But when there is a game I can vibe with on my own, those are always the best!
Ya, it’s difficult to arrange time with the few people I know that still game. So it generally ends up being solo for me.
Yep I do on my PC, was using windows till like 4 months ago. Don’t have really any issues with it. Wish anticheat worked but otherwise I’m chilling.
Yeah since I got my deck all my gaming even desktop gaming is in Linux: heroic launcher, steam, Xbox cloud, lutris that’s all you need
I now only play the games on Windows which definitely don’t run on Linux. In my case, these are only very few (time reasons and I am only interested in a few new games at all) and usually the copy protection or the cheat protection is the reason why.
I’ve been almost exclusively using my steam deck for gaming since I got it.
I did briefly use a linux desktop for gaming, but I got a VR headset and it wasn’t well supported at the time so I went back to Windows for that.

I and don’t think these are all such communities
Cool thanks. Ya I had already found the community on lemmy.ml didn’t know about the others.
linuxgaming@lemmy.ml exists. Also steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
