You can install Steam on Linux. In fact I have 2 PCs in my house for my sons. They run Windows games flawlessly. See for compatibility in the ProtonDB.

Yeah I installed Garuda yesterday and games worked great. It’s literally everything else that had me wanting a “Linux for fucking morons” class.

And if that doesn't work, there's always ~~alcohol~~ Wine

See the thing is, when you use Windows you don't need a compatability list.

Just wait until you try to install it on something without secure boot

Edge with hover button to bing is now your default browser again.

On Windows it might be compatible but you'll still face problems. Not to mention Linux has a better compatibility with older games

Linux gaming is pretty good these days. Basically the only major games you can't play are the ones running super intrusive anticheats.

Moved to Nobara os half a year back and haven't had much issue with any game so far, not anymore than I did on windows

Maybe relevant 10 years ago, but not anymore. Hell, most games run better with Proton now, no background telemetry crap.

could just be my luck but out of a few games I tried nothing ran as smooth as windows and also no g sync for me

FNV somehow runs more stable on my Steam Deck than my PC at this point.

I tried running FNV on my home PC through Proton and it was basically a PowerPoint presentation. My Windows partition can run FNV just fine, even with a game-breaking number of mods. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, as I've heard that FNV works well in WINE. I'm on Debian in case anyone wants to ~~dunk on my shit~~ help me out.
