"Linux is great for gaming. You only need to follow these 25 kernel configuration steps to combine three 3rd party applications and it runs just fine!"

Yeah it's not like that anymore.

Step 1: Install Steam Step 2: Download games Step 3: Play games

If you have an AMD GPU and use Steam it's mostly plug&play these days.

I have an Nvidia GPU and I don't want to waste my already limited gaming time trying to make the games run smoothly.

I also have an Nvidia. It's still plug-n-play. Everything runs fine.

Get super fighters deluxe working and we're talking.

Gotta love ProtonDB. What an incredibly progressive project.

[–] thoughtorgan@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I did, didn't work.

Bummer :(

Jam Mint or Pop OS on there and you will never in your life have to worry about a kernel to game. Not even once.
