    Well, Proton ain't really the best solution. It's good but it will never be as good as native because it's a translation layer and is like building with wood planks and nails. That's why you need to change proton version, sometimes use Mango, etc.

    What's make Linux run games faster tho is the fact Linux ain't bloated. Windows is. I have a good feeling we will get maybe a Windows 11 Gaming Edition if Microsoft really wants to make a hybrid for their next Xbox.

    If Linux still increase in popularity, they will have no choice anyway.

    Also I'm saying that it's fun to buy a gaming computer just for browsing because we are talking about DEBIAN here. The distro known for being way behind for stability. So old Kernel, old drivers, old packages.

    Well, Proton ain't really the best solution.

    That has changed in the recent years. The only thing that doesn't work on Proton in my Steam library is Worms World Party, but that's just because it also doesn't work on Windows. I've even played the entire StarCraft II campaign on Linux.

    Some games like NieR: Replicant are literally better in Proton than on Windows. There's a bug in it that doesn't happen in Proton, so it's not just benchmark numbers.

    I game great on Debian lmao. "Old" (LTS) kernel is fine and unlike common belief it is updated between LTS releases of the Linux kernel, and Nvidia supports Debian officially with their own packages so drivers are up to date if you want them to be.

    We didn't have the need to change Proton version for quite a long time now. In some rare cases switching from 10 to Experimental at most, no going back.

    Also, Microsoft already made a Windows 11 release for gaming, used in the ROG Ally X. All bloat and Copilot are still running in the background.

    it's actually not Entirely pirated. it's a weird grey area where basically, to get an official copy of windows for consumers, Microsoft will charge you over $100 for a copy, but if you manufacture computers, or put them together for other people with windows pre installed, you can basically get a kind of bulk deal where these real official licenses are sold by Microsoft for something like $5-$10 a piece, and some companies then resell those officially obtained licenses for very cheap. Microsoft does not like this and it's usually not part of the agreement in the wholesale purchase, but that's where those licences come from. they aren't Entirely stolen, but they aren't Entirely legitimate either. that's why they are often called "grey market" rather than just flat out black market
