Linux gamers

Lutris + Proton basically makes Linux gaming as good as/better than Windows gaming. It's truly braindead simple now.

>suffering a huge performance decrease and not even being able to play some things just to satisfy your hipster urges
Have a linux partition on your drive for general pc stuff if you want, it's lightweight and efficient for that purpose, but you're only making it harder on yourself by using it for gaming.

valve made proton because they want everyone to switch to linux, and I would see how anyone would get tired of wangblows's bullshit such as ads on the main menu, taking away user control for updates (which also break more shit than loonix), mountains of bloat, forced telemetry and having way more overhead which means that it effectively runs worse than linux in basic tasks (but you can always fix these problems by running a totally safe exe made by pajeet, right?)
the only thing linux needs to beat windows is popularity, but people are lazy and love being treated as retards so that they have to put in the least amount of effort, even if that means being stuck with an inferior product
convenience > all for the average normalfag

>suffering a huge performance decrease
Not really. There are even cases where DXVK performance is faster than native windows performance.

Get rx570 to tide you over, it's good enough for 1080p60 if you can stomach not having everything on ultra and it's dirt cheap
nVidia's releasing 7nm cards which means yuge gainz, it's truly insane to buy a decent gpu rn unless you're literally swimming in cash
even budget 7nm shit should hit 4k60 if nvidia weren't turbojews. They are, since probably you'll need to buy midrange, but midrange 3000 will certainly leave 2080 in the dust

name some or post proof

Is linux even worth it for consumer grade? The last time I used linux was dual boot Ubuntu for WEP wifi hacking and obscure HDD formating. Heard the community got seriously poisoned with extremist left wing politics too and there was some inside wars. What's some good distro to try out and experiment with steam?

> $400 enough
Yea. Look for something of gtx1000 or rtx2000 series at this price point.

how's your weekend going, user?
kernel panic? what's that?
segfaults? sounds rough.

I bet you're one of those faggots that spent their christmas updating their rgb lightbulb firmware

enjoy recompiling your gentoo while I shitpost on 4chins, loser

>Is linux even worth it for consumer grade?
I use it for general web browsing, watching tv/movies, and office related stuff. It's lightweight, fast and doesn't have any microsoft update bullshit to deal with. I don't play any games on linux unless they have a linux native port or are really old and run well through wine. Windows is far more stable for modern games, and video drivers are more reliable on the windows side for obvious reasons.
