Install Linux, problem resolved.

Linux Mint is massively less frustrating to use than Windows 10 or 11

Fedora here, been running Baldur's Gate 3 no problem using proton. Even with a 2600.

No reason to go back to windows knowing I can run pretty much anything through steam.

I'm gonna have to go for Linux once my current laptop dies. Now way I'm putting up with Windows 11.

Install kubuntu, KDE rocks and is very easy to understand for windows refugees

@phoenixz

#KDE is not only extremely newbie-friendly, it's also awesome for Linux veterans (Me, using Linux since the 90s, started with fvwm2 as window manager).

Oh agreed. 20+year Linux user here, and I don't think (or remember) I've used anything else but KDE.

Install both! That way you can play all the games you want, if you're a nerd like me, but you can move the other everyday stuff to Linux!

More games are coming to Linux, it'll be a while for this process to complete.

Nowadays, Its actually harder to find a game that flat out won't work. Thanks to Proton, the only games that you can't play on linux are ones that the developer has specifically forbidden from working on linux via whatever AC they use.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I did well over 20 years ago. Never looked back.

I don't have personal experience with games on Linux but from what I'm hearing, most games should now work the same on Linux as on windows
