I’m thinking of installing Linux (think I’m going to use Nobara) on my new budget gaming PC, and my biggest worry is video games compatibility. I have most of my games on Steam and Epic. Some on GOG, and some on Itch. I know a bit about steam compatibility, but not much about the rest. Is this something I need to worry about, or should it just work?
Edit: for anyone that finds this, sounds like the Heroic Launcher is the way to go. Thanks everyone!
Edit 2: I’ve used Heroic Launcher and Steam + Proton for a few days now, works great! I’d recommend it to anyone with a similar question.
I’ve had good experiences launching games from Epic on the Heroic Games Launcher. Most games that don’t have extreme anti-cheats should just work. If compatibility is an issue, you can install Linux as a dual-boot option, so you could switch to Windows for certain games.
Thanks! I’ve heard of that before, but didn’t have a reason to use it on Windows. I’ll try it out.
