I’ve been dual booting Ubuntu and Windows for a good few years now. I keep the windows around for gaming, because, ahem, I don’t like giving EA, among others, money. I know it’s not a problem to play most of the games I’ve paid for on Linux, but does anyone have experience with playing games on Linux that you’ve, somehow, obtained for free? And keeping them updated, too?

I’m still going to dual boot because keeping my games separate from my work is a decent adhd strategy for me, so I’m open to gaming friendly OS suggestions as well!

      Yah, those distros have all this stuff preinstalled and I don’t have nVidia, but if you do there’s a place in the Nobara welcome screen to enable the nVidia drivers. GloriousEggroll, who does the Nobara distro, is one of the primary contributors to Proton.

      A word of caution on using Bazzite, it is an immutable operating system based off of fedora atomic. So there are differences/limitations in how software is installed. Not suggesting you avoid Bazzite, I’m using it on my main gaming rig, just know that it’s a bit different than a standard Fedora varient.
