Yes, but can you play modern games on Linux the same as on Windows? Even with anti-cheat software?

FYI Helldivers 2 works fine on an ubuntu + AMD GPU, as well as Baldur's Gate 3. Haven't tested any other game yet.

Setup is trivial thanks to Steam and proton.

Nvidia just requires a driver install on most distros, and the newer drivers for Linux run rather well. All but one of my games runs better on Linux than on Windows (MK1 has slowdown issues on cinematics)
