Linux is now the best gaming system. ｜ fernvenue's Blog
blog.fernvenue.comWhen it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.
Except Mint has really bad support for Nvidia, to the point that some of the docs I’ve read straight up say “Don’t use Mint if you have an Nvidia card,” so if you’re recommending it to gamers with an Nvidia gpu you’ve actually been trolling them.
Probably one of the biggest issues with Linux that it seems wild people won’t accept is that there is no “one size fits all” answer. Each distro has its strengths and weaknesses. Mint is great for people who use a computer for light browsing, video streaming, really any casual use. That doesn’t make it universal.
