I just made the jump in November. Gaming pc was the last computer in the house with windows. Now it's an all Linux household, well minus the router on FreeBSD.

Similar. We haven't booted the Windows computer in almost 2 years at this point. It's truly incredible how good gaming is on Linux now!

In related news, Bazzite is absolutely kicking ass, and I'm super happy to see it

I play world of warcraft and baldur's gate 3. installed cachyos yesterday and downloaded both games through Steam

i was expecting the games to be laggy or glitchy, but they run smooth as butter. 240fps on WoW, I think it might perform better than Windows 11 but at least as good.

im sure something about linux will annoy me eventually and I'll switch back to Windows, but I don't want to.

Last I checked WoW is only available from Blizzard directly.

On linux mint I can get games to run but they run horribly. I wish I could figure out the issue because running most of my games on linux would be awesome

I have an obnoxious issue on Windows 11 that I cannot fix. I have an RTX 5060 and the monitor will not receive a signal after the computer wakes from sleep.

One of the thousands of issues I have yet to encounter on Linux Mint, it has been unironically more stable than Windows 11 :)
