This is a true statement but it also doesn’t accomplish anything. As much as you want others to care about something, they have quite literally a whole world of stuff going on in their head and these things are not necessarily priorities. They should be, but they aren’t.

We need to keep in mind we are in an echo chamber and as important as these things are for us, we are in the minority. It isn’t because people don’t care, they are just busy with their own gremlins.

It’s a problem but also very human.

Can confirm, there is a world of difference between people who are chatting about switching to Linux and the average computer user.

As much improved as it is, Linux isn’t ready for those people. Not because it is hard or they can’t figure it out but they don’t care or don’t have the energy. Most people don’t even know what Linux is there than a term they might have heard a couple times.

I would love for Linux to take off and Microsoft to feel the sting from abusing their customers.

I have an Nvidia card and run plasma and everything “just worked” for me including the proprietary drivers. Zero configuration (I am using CachyOS but Manjaro was fine as well as mint).

Figured I would add another data point for those thinking about switching but are nervous about the Nvidia support.

I don’t think I’ve actually played any of those so I can’t speak to them but hopefully someone else can. There is a website you can check compatibility on although I don’t know if it includes non-games and/or tools. Arizona Sunshine looks like it’s fine: https://www.protondb.com/search?q=arizona+sunshine

If it’s gold or higher it’ll almost certainly play without issue. Silver will very likely play if you tweak the compatibility settings to change proton versions (go to game options in steam > compatibility > change the version. Bronze is hit or miss, you’ll likely be able to get it to work but it might require more work. Borked is of course…borked.

Anyways, someone else can probably answer those games specifically but if not you can use the website to check.

Switched to Linux a couple years ago and at this point it is rare that a game doesn’t “just work” and even rarer when it still won’t work after trying other versions of proton in the Steam compatibility settings for the game.

Depending on if there is a specific game you know doesn’t work that is a deal breaker for you, it might be fine at this point to switch. Just throwing that out there. You may not need more compatibility than what is available.
