With all that’s going on. I’ve been really considering setting up a dual boot and testing Linux Mint properly. (i hate virtual desktops, but I have Mint running on one now) I know I have to make some changes to my productivity workload, as I’m an Adobe Lightroom user. I’ll keep that on Windows for now.

But my question is regarding gaming.

I play a lot of varying games, from new singleplayer and multiplayer stuff to old games back up to about 1999. I know I have to do a bunch of research setting things up, but right off the bad I have a question.

What games will not be possible to use on Linux?

For example, will something like Escape from Tarkov work? That’s a game I do not want to even install of there’s a chance it will lead to a ban.

And is comparability with older games better or worse than W11?

    Most online games that have anticheat. (yes some work but most don’t even if the anticheat could support linux.)

    For example, will something like Escape from Tarkov work?

    No

    And is comparability with older games better or worse than W11?

    YMMW. but often linux plays older windows games better than windows.
