like serious i testing out my SSD i bought 2 day's ago and try it out.
so i installed Pop!_OS and the results blows me away games runs really good and fast and they even work.
the list of steam games that support it is crazy.

if this keeps up i expect linux to dominate the gamer market within 10 years if not sooner.

Well yes, but actually no.

and it runs even better on win10

well can't really say or compare at the moment but i just tested out tomb raider and it runs to fast to be honest even on 4K
bit of a older game but it looks really fine on it.

I bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider a while ago to test the Linux performance, and it runs amazingly under Vulkan. They really did a excellent job on the Linux-ports.

I do all my gaming in Linux. I haven't even looked at Windows in years. No need to.

Since about 2 years ago this is the case, maybe longer but I had more trouble back then.

I have a few games that don't play or have an extra bug like spelunky 2.

Same here. Most people don't realize this is an actual option these days. It may require some tinkering, but with things like Proton and various packagers out there doing very easy installers and compilations of proton and wine with the latest fixes, it's not really all that hard even for the uninitiated.

I like Linux for everything, except gaming. I tried playing Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1 through Wine and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the in-game videos and sound wasn't working. I tried a bunch of different things in the terminal based on what I was able to find on the internet, but no luck. On Windows, I can just install the game and play it fine...but Linux is a lot of hit and miss with games from my experience. Maybe I need to try a different distro.

Protondb is your friend.

I quote from the comments: To fix the sound bug, use: protontricks 282900 xact There's probably a similar winetrick for Wine (I would recommend sticking to Wine Staging at minimum for gaming purposes).

Other comment about Wine Staging: Though, it is running perfectly in my trusty old 32-bit Skyrim Wine prefix using wine-2.4 (Staging), and after installing devenum, quartz, xact, and wmp10 (see entry in the wine AppDB).

Wow did you guys know how easy it is to run a window game?.

install Luris,
import Game exe

Play....

this was unspeakable 2 years ago.

gonna test run a week but i really like what i see now, might install it on my main drive (NVMe)

I don't know about dominating the market but for me Linux has always run better then Mac or Windows for gaming. I own a lot of older games that just don't work on Mac or Windows any more.

Games like:

Virtua Fighter PC
Virtua Fighter 2 PC
Street Fighter Alpha PC
Fatal Fury 3 PC

I've been on Linux for all of my computing and gaming wants since 1997/1999. I left Windows 98 around early 1999 from my side rig and it's been getting greater since.

My job also switched to Linux in the late 90's so that helped a lot too. Outside of older titles that I already owned I stick to Linux native DRM FREE titles for the most part with cloud gaming slowly gaining a foot hold into my collection.

Yeah, it's nice. I've been slowly getting rid of old legacy tech. Like Pulseaudio. And since I'm on Fedora, I'm testing out Wine 6 Release Candidates.

I don't use Play On Linux or things like that, because I'd rather not deal with the madness of an installer deciding to unearth Wine 1.3.5 from the grave.

Sure, there's a few games that overrelied on Microsoft's internal system like Close Combat II (the windows registry was a solution looking for a problem) or that have other mysterious problems like Creatures 1 where it runs but...due to the submodules not working...is mostly just a pretty picture...

You are dreaming with that one ... big time ... fantasy land stuff.

The huge majority of PC users go with whatever is the easiest, and that is Windows by far. That's not saying Windows is better, though it is in many ways ... the ways that most people care about anyway, and none of that is going to change any time soon, if ever.

Microsoft would have to do something truly upsetting for things to change enough or Linux do something truly amazing.

People in most cases stick with what they know, even if it is a pain at times.

One thing I will predict within 10 years, is less PC gamers and even more console gamers.

Linux is niche and likely to remain that way unless some major driver occurs to change the desire for it.

this is whats wrong with linux gaming , why do you need to fix things? it should just work out of the box
do people want to play or want to tinker with linux to somehow make games playable ?
until you run into a game which doesnt run well which most of the games especially multiplayer ones
