The Steam Deck is trying to make Linux gaming more hassle-free, but it's not like we've reached that stage yet. Still, we're taking steps.
I have high hopes for the future. It's just not quite there yet.
i do not agree with that sentiment. i'm an avid gamer, and in the last few weeks since switching to nobara i only found 1 obscure game that didn't work, and 2 that needed an entry in the preferences of the game in steam. using heroic launcher for all amazon/epic/gog games and lutris for my piracy tryouts (would work in heroic too, but it's cleaner that way)
but i must admit that the experience is smoother in windows; i miss my playnite launcher which integrated everything from steam to other stores, pirated games and all emulation needs.
Maybe I'm just really unlucky when it comes to liking games that don't work on Linux.
that might be. i am a pure single-player (with a bit of local coop mixed in) player, and i prefer roguelites, VNs with actual gaming elements and FPS / "Immersive Sim"-Style games, and currently the Vampire Survivor category with Yet another Zombie Survival and Halls of Torment. I try out a lot of games (If theres a Fitgirl or DODI release of it and even somewhere in my ballpark i'll test it).
Most issues i have stem from modding games without Workshop support, using external Mod Managers like Vortex sucks on Linux.
My experience has been that singleplayer and indie games work best, so that's not surprising!
