Hi. I’ve been using Linux for decades on my work machines, but most of my knowledge is pretty rusty. However for gaming I’ve always used a Windows machine. I’m thinking of getting rid of microsoft entirely, since I’ve been hearing such good things about steam & proton lately.
I was going to just install Mint on my gaming computer, but since there are a ton of experts here, I figured I should check in to see if there is any reason not to use Mint for this? And if there is any other considerations or setup I should be aware of to keep my games running well?
Mint is fine, most things work via Steam/Proton and Heroic/Proton/Wine. Nvidia drivers could be better.
You may run into problems with various forms of anti-cheat (kernel level etc.) which may or may not be supported later.
