    I like Linux a lot and do want to have it as my OS, but most of the games are either painfully slow or just instantly crash upon loading. No game has ran better on linux than on windows, so I’m stuck unfortunately.

      There is no current game I want to play that doesn’t run on Linux. Valve really has done an amazing job with proton and getting games to work as well or better on Linux.

      Now, that said, I am not big into competitive multiplayer, so take that into account. Anti cheat is still a problem since most of the current ones need permissions that are not normally given on Linux.

      I just switched my gaming laptop to slowly running Manjaro. So far I’ve had good luck running most everything in my steam library, including some major titles. All look great at very high end settings. You should give it another go.

      Really? I only ever have trouble with non-Steam games. Make sure you’re setting the compatibility to Proton rather than the Linux Runtime since it often works better. I know if I try to play native Linux games I lose my cursor. Can I ask what hardware you’re using?
