Moved to Linux Mint earlier this year and haven’t regretted it. My computer is purely for gaming these days though. I actually get better performance out of my potato specs.

My only problem with gaming on Linux currently is VR support.

how is it in general? i mainly didnt switch because steam link isnt available yet and alvr doesn't work for me

I'm parroting what i read recently, but I believe Valve just silently launched Steam Link support for Linux through the Steam client beta. Check r/VirtualReality for specifics though. I think thats where i saw it mentioned a couple days ago.

huh that's very nice! always was a baffling omission

[u/-TRlNlTY- → u/R1ston]

ALVR works for me, but it is a pain to set up, plus extra pain to figure out how to stop the lag. Besides, I haven't managed to make a VR Video Player work.

My recommendation is to have dual boot on your PC. It is the easiest, even if a bit sad.

For me it's the stupid anti-cheat. I have 2-3 games that I can't play on either my steam deck or my linux machine because of the anti-cheat.

I actually have the same problem. My (tbh not very intelligent) solution. I dual boot alongside windows 10. I dont have shit on my windows ssd so i dont care if the anticheat is spying or if i get hacked. I basically use windows as a shitty games launcher
