Just yesterday I tried Hitman - the native Linux version - and it is SO MUCH BETTER! Not only the graphics are SPECTACULAR, but I also feel a much more direct connection to the game, to the character and the in-game environment. There is a sense of CLARITY, SIMPLICITY, and CONTROL! Windows is a heap of bloatware that has become repulsive beyond my level to tolerate it.
I just recently switched to Linux and I felt a great sense of RELIEF and freedom in general along with a renewed motivation and excitement of working on my projects - which became a -drag- because I was becoming increasingly repulsed by Windows. But I'm now seeing just how using Linux translates into a much more immersed and -unobstructed- gaming experience, and it's AMAZING! Linux is the future for gaming! I like seriously NOTICE MORE THINGS in the game and I actually like the game itself much better.
Evidently, and obviously, that sense of repulsion, obstruction and interference - the -Windows experience- - was carrying over into the gaming experience and really anything else that I was trying to do using Windows. Once that was eliminated, I can actually FOCUS much better and much more directly on what I am working on, on MY purpose and use of the computer - hence, improved attention to detail in the game, and other performance improvements in working with other applications.

Yes I know this video is old. Yes proton and vulkan api is helping. But still NOT there. Until hardware vendors actually support there hardware with proper Linux drives. Example. Almost ALL motherboards made in last 10+15+ year use RealTek sound chipset or codec.
Just built Ryzen 2700x with MSI pro Carbon x470 Mobo and every LINUX distro I-ve tired. Pop os included. On-board sound does not work.
- NO AMD official drivers
- NO official Nvidia drivers ( GTX 1080Ti)
- NO RealTek audio drives. / no RealTek control panel ?
- There NO MSI afterburner. Linux version.
- There NO Logitech g29 force feed back drivers for steering wheel for any games.
We NEED hardware venders to support Linux with drivers. We need DEVS support Linux. It-s still not there,
As ex beta tester/server admin/ ex moderator (tech help guy) from small steam indie dev team before step down due health issue/was moving at the time.
Want support Linux but it still not there because hardware venders don-t official support it or offer drivers/game dev mostly ignore it cus not enough ppl using it. Vavle can-t even bother put %100 effort into It or hire devs to build better os.
-R7 2700x / x470 Mobo / 16 GB ddr4 3200mhz / GTX 1080TI / 1 TB SSD / 2x 240 ssd / win 7 64 bit / Linux

First off, I am a fan of Linux and I want game devs and Nvidia+AMD to support linux completely. However, the way you praise Linux in this video is biased to say the least. The whole video is based on performance improvements because of ACO (which you pronounce AOC for some reason) which, while you mention is for AMD graphics cards, but the way you say that, it honestly sounds a bit confusing to the average Joe and some naive people with Nvidia cards could get their hope high for no reason. And after telling at 3:10 that it is for AMD, you just basically switch to another article.
The point I am trying to make is that in the whole video, you are trying to say that Linux gaming is/will be WAAAAY better than windows while all you are doing is just talking about AMD card users. That statement can't be true if Nvidia card owner aren't getting a piece of the pie. This video just sounds biased to me, trying to push people to try Linux (which people you should, who knows you might enjoy your privacy more than you enjoy windows :D ) .

What you say is true, Chris! There has been writing on the wall for a long time now - around the mid 'noughties I was working on aircraft design using Laminar Research's -X-Plane- sim, and X-Plane boss Austin Meyer announced that he was putting out a version re-compiled for Linux, which was intended to run faster...
Our box was getting old, and did not support a good frame rate under Win XP for the latest X-Plane release, so we loaded up SuSE Linux and tried it.
So new that we had to re-name a couple of libraries, but it worked, and was -about- 30% faster frame rate than under XP, which meant we did not have to buy a new PC that year! Woohoo!

I'm tired of windows. Went to pop os. But my favorite games don't work!. Black ops 4, call of duty waw, modern warfare, squad, insurgency, insurgency sandstorm. I haven't tried Battlefield 3 or star wars battlefront 2. But I don't have my hopes up for these working either.
I dual boot because my favorite games aren't available on Linux. But Linux is still my favorite system. Also haven't tried pubg either another of my fav games or the Witcher 3. Or skyrim. Or gta 5. Or game maker studio 2. But I think all these have issues or I have to do some terminal stuff to get working. Linux doesn't have my favorite things damitt!! Tired of windows though.

Ill say it again, solve the Anti cheat issue when it comes to linux & you will solve a huge issue with gaming on linux, arma, battle royales, i know csgo is native on linux but most serious players in the cs community use third party clients for competitve play such as esea which requires their anti cheat, so many top end games held back from the potential explosion on linux due to the anti cheats, and tbh im not sure this will ever change

I Think Valve and AMD are pushing this as they are the main gaming support and sellers. I Think Windows used to be a good game operating system but this is changing now I've using linux for 3 years in home and windows to do some tasks that i cannot in linux because of my company vpn. But I Think Linux is a great system and is free and we have all the community support that are making a very good job.

If Linux overtakes windows in all titles I play: Blizzard games, guild wars 2 mainly I'll change to Linux main with Windows vm until ms office stuff works flawlessly.
Hopefully titles are all developed with Linux in mind too.
Finally 90% is way optimistic I'd say 50% at best

About 25% of my Steam library is Linux games. With Proton it's around 90%. I don't even know which are Windows and which are Linux anymore. Of course I need to test them to find out if they all work properly, but that will take years.

I started using Linux 3 months ago. To people like me who are to -Scared- to make the jump from windows to linux, I do a dual boot system on my laptop and desktop where I can choose between Linux or windows upon bootup.
