    Nvidia drivers are alright these days but otherwise yeah. Most games are playable on Linux at this point with the huge exception of most online games with any anti cheat.

      They are “alright” if you mean they work without meant issues, that is true.

      What’s far from “alright” is how every trimester they update and your distro breaks completely. Just s few months ago, every single Debian based distro simply started to black screen after installing the latest Nvidia drivers.
