Have you seen protondb? A pretty impressive number of games just work. Really we are at the point now where games that don’t run are more the exception, and usually it is due to Anti-cheat incompatibility or some very specific issue.
what does “few” mean in this context? With proton the number of games (developed for Windows) now simply work. And without a bloated OS full of spyware they seem to run actually faster.
The games I want to play with Linux have 0 framerate aka wont even start.
Sounds like a problem with the game
No.
Basically, yes. Bloated shit that requires it’s own launcher and kernel based anti cheat software. Maybe with some tweaking it would be possible.
No game requires kernel access regardless of OS
Chinese Spyware might need it but then no one should use it anyway
Doesn’t Valorant use kernel-level anti cheat (Vanguard)?
Yes…and it’s owned by a Chinese company
Did I say in my original post that the game I want to play requires kernel based software?
Lol
If you want to look smart, you do it horribly.
Reword the title: The very few games that actually work on Linux work better.

Have you ever tried it out yourself?
Most of the games I tried worked flawlessly. Some worked better including older games. I only had one game I couldn’t get to run out of like 150+.
Horses for courses.
