Yeah, the secret here is Bazzite honestly. If a game will run on Linux, then it'll run with minimal setup on Bazzite.

Nobara too.

I cant remember the last time I had to futz with anything to get a game to work, been well over a year. The games just work. Only extra step compared to windows is the one time effort upon installing steam to enable steam play and set the default proton version to experimental. Experimental has run everything for me, flawlessly, for like a year now.

I'm sure theres still the occasional, rare game that might need some tweaking/setup/patch/whatever to get going.. but thats something you run into on windows from time to time as well, so its hardly a ding against linux.

I had no issue getting to run gr wildlands on lutris but even the 3 step setup was not worth it for how shit the game was.
