I am going to attempt to switch to Linux, I'm definitely not going to willingly use windows platforms again.
As a lifelong windows gamer I’ve just switched to cachyos and honestly it’s been fantastic. Performance seems on par (or within 5 percent) and it’s super customizable. Haven’t had any issues getting things working, including non-steam alphas. Went into it thinking I’d probably switch back, but have no need currently. You definitely need some troubleshooting skills, but nothing too crazy if you already tinker a bit in windows.
Edit: I’m also running triple monitors at 144hz and it’s been completely fine (and I’m on Nvidia).
For those of us who didn't know, CachyOS is and Arch-based distor with performance focus and some ease of use tools.
this blog explains some difference to other Arch-based distros
I bought a new computer a few years ago that has 11 on it. With how the Steam Deck has seemed to really promote Linux for gaming, I'm seriously considering it on my next build.
It is very obvious to me that Windows is becoming increasingly subject to enshittification.
Yeah, proton seems to really work wonders, and it seems it's only going to get better. I have windows 11 on my work laptop and I hate it.
