I previously used Ubuntu for a short time and encountered issues running Prince of Persia. The performance was slow and the overall system felt uninspired. I returned to Windows 7 for my university work, which offered a smoother and more engaging experience. Ubuntu 16.04 was also appealing last year for its stability, though Windows 10 has consistently had problems regardless of maintenance. Many friends and colleagues share similar concerns about gaming support and reliability on Windows. I’m curious whether Linux gaming support is improving or if there are better options on the horizon for a more seamless experience.
It really hinges on your specific needs. Avoiding Adobe tools is fine, but other options work well too. Sharing examples of what you're aiming for would help a lot.
This machine is built for gaming, so I mainly stick to recent titles. Atm I enjoy games such as Rainbow 6, The Crew, and World of Tanks. If all current games run smoothly without compatibility problems, I’d be eager to upgrade soon.
It's true, Linux has come a long way. But from what I noticed in that link, many Ubisoft titles are still having issues.
I also think things have gotten much better, though it’s far from being perfect. It’s hard to judge whether you should switch based on what you need. A practical step is to check DBs such as protondb or wine appdb, find the games you really need, and see how they perform. If unsure, try a dual boot first. You’re free to drop Windows completely if your Linux choice fits you, or keep it on if it doesn’t; just make sure you handle the removal carefully and reinstall a working bootloader.
