Hi Linux users, how would you describe your current gaming habits on the platform?

It's more down to hardware limits than Linux limits for gaming for me

So if you had a proper desktop + GPU you might play more on Linux?

Oh absolutely, all the time, I love playing on Linux and most games that I'd want to play without native support run just fine under Wine or Proton

Actually I use Windows only for playing games... cause compatibility for *some* games is the only advantage for Windows I can think of.

Almost completely Steam games. Native is preferred, but I usually end up going with Proton.
Online multiplayer games with native Linux support don't always support playing with Windows users, so Proton comes to the rescue.

I see. That's interesting. What do you learn from this information, then? Is spending a lot of time playing Candy Crush on your telephone and indictment of Linux?
