My Honest Experience: 1 Year of Gaming on Linux (2020)

In this video, I share my personal experience using Linux as my primary gaming platform for a full year (2020) — the good, the bad, and everything in between.

🎮 Key Takeaways
Distro Choice Doesn’t Matter (Much) - Rolling release distros give quicker access to updates, but fixed-release distros with PPAs can be just as functional.

EA Origin Games - These tend to stutter unless you disable write access to the Origin folder — a strange but effective workaround.

DirectX 12 Performance - On older GPUs like the GTX 1080, the performance hit using DX12 on Linux just isn’t worth it.

Custom Kernels - Despite the hype, I didn’t notice any real gaming performance gains from using resource-optimized custom kernels.

NVIDIA Drivers - The proprietary NVIDIA drivers work well, but screen tearing can occur if the compositor is disabled.

Desktop Environments - No major impact on performance, but note that stock Proton no longer disables the compositor in KDE Plasma, while Proton-GE still does.

🧠 Conclusion
Windows 10 remains the superior gaming platform — plain and simple.
But if you're interested in tinkering, exploring other OSs, or taking back control of your system, Linux offers so much more than just gaming.

Use what works for you, whether that’s Linux, Windows, macOS, or even Android.
Gaming on Linux is a bonus, not the core reason to switch.
