      If devs started making anticheat for Linux it would get closer.

      If they stopped making launchers it would be easier too.

        Is really just: 1 - Install any Linux Distro 2 - See if you have the drivers for your hardware already installed 3 - Install Steam 4 - Change the setting for Enable Steam Play on Steam 5 - Download the game and play it.

        Of course, like in windows, something could go wrong and you need to tinker a little bit to fix it but for the vast majority is just like that.

          Just adding: if you have an AMD GPU, the drivers are now included in the Linux kernel, so there is no manual install needed for those. For nvidia, you do still have to jump through some install hoops.

        The easiest way is to install Steam on your Linux distribution of choice. Next you activate steam play in the steam settings to use the proton compability tool which allows playing windows games on Linux. You can check ProtonDB to see how well your game should work and see if tinkering or additional settings might be needed. A lot of steam games will just work. If you don’t want to use steam, you can also try Lutris or Wine directly, but this approach will need ALOT more setting up and tinkering.

        Linux gaming will sometimes cost you more effort but I think it’s worth it to get away from Microsoft and have my freedom to set up my system how I like. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
