I have no problem playing games on Linux. Currently playing Baldur's Gate 3. Only thing I had to was turn on compatibility in the steam settings.

Ugh, that's too much work. I'm going back to Winblows
I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy and needed to tune one system setting to fix occasional crashes. That's it, and that's the most trouble I've had in a few years.

Do you mind me asking you which distro you use? I've tried running BG3 on Linux Mint and I can't seem to get the game to ever load into the world. I get all the way to the in-game menu and into the loading screen after that and then it hangs and crashes. Every time. I've tried using a couple different versions of Proton, tried out a few different versions of Nvidia graphics drivers... No luck yet.
It runs fine on Linux Mint Debian under proton for me.
Not until they implement 3D Settings page in the Nvidia control panel, and improve upon HDR support. Do those two things, and I will finally stop having to dual boot.
Edit: And yes anticheat needs to be sorted as well, as others have pointed out.
And fix issues with anticheat.

No.
Pewdiepie apparently confirms that it is, atleast according to his latest video and his comment in the comment section.
Could you link them? That would give a massive boost in getting more people to sign up for Linux.
For example: https://phtn.app/post/lemmy.ml/26299109
There are a couple of other posts, you'll find them quickly if you search for Pewdiepie.
Pretty much, yeah. Only thing not 100% yet are some of the more obscure peripherals. Example: Eye and head tracking. While sticks can and do work in Linux, it would be nice if VKB, Virpil, etc had native Linux calibration tools.
What will itsfoss.com say? I'm on the edge of my seat
I was having some issues when I updated to Nobara 41 as Hell Divers 2 failed to load in the textures. So it still has hiccups.
Hell Divers 2 has had a rocky relationship with Linux from the get go. Hopefully, as Linux gains market share, game studios start to include Linux testing.
helldivers 2 works great for me with nixos. Both native package and flatpak.
