I know absolutely nothing about games (I think I last played games on my PC when Day of the Tentacle was a thing) but I do know that Linux is now a million times better than it was even just a few years ago. Last Xmas I upgraded my PC (it’s still pretty old, but I treated it to some new ram, bigger ssd etc.) and decided to give Linux Mint a go.

I’ve been hardcore Windows fan for decades – especially since I did a lot of hardware development, low-level sub-classing programming, building my own USB devices etc. Other than getting used to GIMP instead of Potatoshop, moving over to Linux has been a breeze. And I honestly can’t think of anything I miss.

And lots I really like (like how much of a distraction all those silly little animations actually are – and how great it is to click on an icon and things just appear on screen instead of waiting all the time!). Windows 10 with it’s stupid start bar and all those adverts was driving me to distraction. I simply refused to be pushed into Windows 11. Honestly, I never thought I’d be a Linux advocate.
If you can get your games working on it, I’d say give it a real chance (hey, you can buy a 500Gb SSD for about £20/euros why not buy one, slap it in and give it a go?)
