Linux only gamer for 3+ years now. It is a good time for the penguins.
I just had to change my expectations a bit (which might be a lot for some), but the end result is pretty good.
Always having bad Ping times in multiplayer games, helped out a lot with it.
I assume you mean the ping was better on linux and the bad aspect was on windows?
No.
The internet in my country has high ping all over the place.
So I never had a good enough experience with Online Multiplayer games for them to keep me on Windows.
I wasn't playing online games most of the time anyway, before switching to Linux.
I do play Elite: Dangerous, but that works pretty fine even with bad pings and it works very well on Linux.
Thanks for the clarification
