Another great ploy by Microsoft to increase Linux adoption.
I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.
Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.
Do Ubisoft and Blizzard games run? I keep reading praises about Steam but I am more concerned with the other launchers
Blizzard games have always had good linux compatibility. Might change now that they've bought by microsoft though.
As for ubisoft games they probably run too, launchers are a pita but they do run, you'll need something like lutris, bottles or heroic launcher to get you started running shit outside of steam, they're not necessary but they make things simpler.
