    Anything that isn’t Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that’s my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.

      That’s another thing I always wondered about, gaming on Linux.

      I always thought of Linux of a tweaker/programmer kind of platform that isn’t much into gaming. Much like Apple being for creatives, music and Adobe. Even though all that runs fine on Windows too. That gaming on either is an entirely optional at-your-own-risk kind of deal, since a lot of games don’t support Linux/Mac natively anyway.

      If one wants to play games a lot, why not simply get a Windows PC? Or a console for that matter.

      No offense, but I always felt like wanting to game on Linux or Mac is just handicapping oneself.

        because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.

      The Lutris launcher has helped me successfully play purchased Ubisoft games well. It sucks to rely on third party tools, but that’s much of what Linux is based around.
