Linux is rapidly becoming the future of PC gaming, outperforming Windows with tools like Valve's Steam Proton delivering near-flawless compatibility, Vulkan API efficiency, and measurable performance gains in FPS and latency. The rise of the Steam Deck has pushed Linux gaming into the mainstream, proving open-source platforms can rival, and often exceed traditional systems.

This video dives into why this year marks a tipping point for Linux gaming, including benchmarks, the benefits of switching from Windows, and how tools like Proton, Wine and ProtonDB optimized thousands popular games.

Whether you’re curious about open-source alternatives, or are ready to abandon Windows altogether, I’ll show how Linux offers a faster, more customizable gaming experience.

Some things to mention as well that aren't in the video, I recommend great tools like Lutris and Heroic Launcher to simplify managing your games from different launchers in one place. The growing library of native Linux games and indie titles ensures endless possibilities for the future.

Is Linux the ultimate choice for gamers?
