What are your experiences using Linux for gaming? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don't want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people's experiences doing so.

I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that's a more curated platform compared to standard distros.

What are your experiences, good or bad?

I use Arch and its fantastic! Sure some of the multiplayer games with bullshit DRM won't work (only because the companies will ban you even though the tech is working as expected FU EPIC)

Once you get your system functioning the way you want it, you almost never have to worry about a patch breaking your shit. That is unless you customized your video drivers or the kernel.
