I was very skeptical of the claim that gaming on linux is good now, but fully switched over last weekend. All of the games I play on a regular basis just worked out of the box with no fiddling at all (nVidia graphics card, X11, pop_OS - but I'm pretty sure any modern distribution would work just as well). Fresh OS install (nvidia drivers just worked), install the steam flatpack, click "download", click "play". That's it. This includes "modern" games such as Borderlands 4 and e.g. Helldivers 2.

The "nvidia driver" thing may go away, too. See Nvidias contributions to Nova.

Running steam itself as a flatpak may cost you between 10-15% in overhead if what I've read is true. Installing from repo on fedora/debian/etc should work in most cases just fine.

  Oh really? Wow! I'll switch over tonight and give it a shot. Thanks!
