I wasn’t talking about bricked systems, just the games themselves have issues and glitches. Especially with Nvidia. Not all games mind you. Plus the performance tax on Nvidia with Linux.

    I've been on Nobara for a year or so now with my nvidia 4090. I can't think of a game that I couldn't get running that wasn't related to the anti-cheat or VR. I had a hankering for Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Getting the EA play app going through Lutris worked but was not consistently great at launching. ProtonDB said it ran fine through Steam so I ended up buying it last sale for $5 and it does run fine that way. Helldivers 2 has a single pixel white boarder around the window but otherwise it runs fine. Heck even Ultima Online works (and Outlands!) I've been gaming on Windows PCs for 30 years. It's pretty close if not the same performance to me.

    For the most part it’s fine for me too. But just recently ran into some major issues with Blizzard games. So I definitely like to keep a dual boot for that reason. As well as compatibility and troubleshooting issues.
