  • All your concerns are valid and Linux handles all these well except:

    If you play competitive games with kernel anti cheat it will simply not work on Linux courtesy of the game developers.

    Linux is fully capable of running the game and the anti cheat but the game developers restrict it. Notable games are cod, fortnite, apex legends.

    A notable competitive game that works on Linux is cs2 although you won’t be able to run 3rd party anti cheat like FACEIT as far as I know.

    You can use the proton site to tell you how many of your games on your steam library are playable on Linux.

    I’m on my 8th month or so using Linux to game and I’ve had no issues, most popular games will work. Most niche games use very simple tech like SDL and will just work.

    Wine essentially creates a fake windows environment and handles a lot of internal API calls by kind of redirecting them to existing Linux services, so a lot of windows stuff will just work.

    As for security. You realize most of the Internet runs on Linux ? Practically the majority of the internet is hosted on Linux machines.

    As for a distrto there is no optimal choice you can make.

    You can pick Ubuntu, Debian or Mint and find yourself disappointed in how restricting the power user experience is.

    You can pick arch or cachy for the latest wine improvements but find yourself lost in how to handle the OS in case something goes wrong.

    I personally think cachy (rolling release) is the best for gaming but you could encounter issues (skill issues really) that might frustrate you. These issues would lead to growth and improvement in your understanding of Linux but if all you want to do is game and you don’t care about understanding computers then it might not be for you.

    I think it would be weird to introduce myself to them, here in Canada you do not really talk to other people on the bus except maybe if youre going to another city and have literally nothing else to do

    Ditto: I literally take pubic transit to work every single day and every single time I hop off I hop off with these 2 other ladies, and they always pretend to check their bag so that I walk ahead of them and they can see me.

    I totally understand why they do that but it still is just dehumanizing to me, specially after literal years of getting off at the same stop.
