Message: [QUOTE="calebthegnome, post: 88624, member: 7387"] I've only used Linux since about 2018 (with the exception of my job, where I have to use Windows). It really depends on what kind of software you use. For retro gaming, I've not really encountered any problems (some old Windows games are actually easier to get to run under WINE than on newer Windows releases, in my experience). As far as newer games, it mostly depends on whether you play a lot of competitive online multiplayer games. Pretty much every game I want to play runs fine using WINE/Proton (Steam makes it very easy to install and run games that way, but you can also use Heroic as a means of installing and launching games from other stores like Epic or GOG), but there are several major competitive online games like Fortnite that won't support Linux due to concerns about cheating. There's also other software like Photoshop that doesn't work on Linux and doesn't really have a great alternative. As far as GPU drivers go, I don't think the problems there are nearly as bad as they used to be. What kind of GPU do you use? [/QUOTE]
