Quoting: Is Linux Ready For Mainstream Gaming In 2025? —

Well, not quite. While there is ample room for improvement, gaming on Linux has come a long way in the past few years, and I can confidently say that Linux is ready for mainstream gaming in 2025.

The issues I faced might be specific to the distribution/hardware setup I used to test those games out, and there are plenty of other distros like Bazzite and Pop!_OS, which are also great picks for Linux gamers.

Plus, I am sure that I could have gotten more/stable FPS out of games if I took some time to tweak their graphical settings.
