The Steam Deck is trying to make Linux gaming more hassle-free, but it's not like we've reached that stage yet. Still, we're taking steps.
I have high hopes for the future. It's just not quite there yet.
i do not agree with that sentiment. i'm an avid gamer, and in the last few weeks since switching to nobara i only found 1 obscure game that didn't work, and 2 that needed an entry in the preferences of the game in steam. using heroic launcher for all amazon/epic/gog games and lutris for my piracy tryouts (would work in heroic too, but it's cleaner that way)
but i must admit that the experience is smoother in windows; i miss my playnite launcher which integrated everything from steam to other stores, pirated games and all emulation needs.
I guess dual-booting is still a necessity for some of us, unless you have a single hard drive and your Windows installation decides to randomly break.
