I‘m pretty excited, ngl! I‘ve recently finished my daily driver and put ubuntu 23.04 on it. 3060ti (don’t buy nvidia! Just dont) and an i9, 32gigs of ram. Streaming on an apple tv with a ds4 controller.

All settings maxed with raytracing ultra (did hitch a bit like 30-40 min into the game, either bigger rooms or heat buildup, gotta check that) turned off raytracing, everything was fine again.

The game is so cinematic and 3rd person lends itself to controllers imo.

But I wanted to share this because it blew my mind how far linux gaming has come. You don’t need a game console. You can just run it on your tv over fkin lan. Crazy!

    But from a “I come from windows and want my steam games to run” it works fine

    … until it doesn’t. You’re not going to keep playing the same games forever, right? What if a new game comes out that you really want to play, and it doesn’t work in Ubuntu but it works everywhere else? This is actually a fairly common issue, because Ubuntu tends to be so far behind in package versions.

    Also, as you mentioned, Ubuntu can be very finicky at times, so there’s no guarantee your games will continue to work.

    It’s best to switch now while your install is still fresh and you don’t have much data and customisations, because later on, it’ll be a bit of a pain to migrate everything.
