If nothing else, ths is a good example of why youtube should continue to exist. At least it plays a video in full when I click on it, instead of playing 30 seconds or so, then pauses for eternal loading. I suppose having funding to improve infrastructure does have some practical value.

IME it's the older games which are easier to install and have better performance on linux.
I play Apex Legends, and I get way better performance in Linux. My regular squad mates were having graphical lag issues last weekend. Me on Linux, no issues. 120+fps
Apex anticheat works on Linux?!? I may have to switch over. I always thought it wasn't compatible and never really checked back.

That explains part of why Steam Deck is so good.
Sigh, guess I have to get serious about gaming on Linux then. I wonder if the nVidia drivers still locks up my boot sequence.
If you have an Nvidia GPU don't switch to Linux, especialy if it's a pre-Turing model. If you have a Turing+ GPU though wait for a year until NVK is actually usable, then look into it imo.
Or take a different plunge when you're ready for a GPU upgrade: get more bang for buck with an AMD card and do the switch to Linux at the same time.
