No, and this place will heavily gaslight you. Yes most games do work now, it just takes a ton of extra configuration and constantly getting shit like controllers working well.
Genuinely curious what the ton of extra configuration and controller issues you’ve encountered are? Speaking only for myself, since Proton it’s been pretty much smooth sailing, even with an Nvidia GPU.
Granted I don’t have more “niche” interests like VR or flight/driving sims which would require pretty specific “controllers” and may just have been lucky all around.
Incorrect documentation, controller latency, having to write out configuration and scripts for pipewire to use my HDMI audio, same with HDMI displays and gnome, having to create new display modes so that games see and use them, missing vrr in many games, a wireless headset is missing the mic input, missing HDR in all games running in gamescope, and having to pull out and put back in my HDMI cord every time my display turns off.
Don’t get started about having to run a Debian container to run vscode because flatpack doesn’t work consistently.
Running a 3080, 12700k, and mostly standard hardware.
Do you have TV’s or HDMI audio through passthrough? I’m utterly convinced 98% of the Linux community has no clue. I regularly run into these issues across distros and I’ve basically become convinced that nearly everyone is running just standard monitors and wired in controllers.
Yes I do on my laptop (have not tried on my desktop which is connected to a standard monitor) + using an Xbox and an 8bitdo controller through Bluetooth.
Never had issues with hdmi audio passthrough, (but did use to have weird resolution issues, circa Ubuntu 10.04, on a particular TV that I never could solve).
I am not trying to negate your experience, or trying to assess sample size btw. I am just genuinely just as baffled as you seem to be, from the other end, and would like to know of potential issues I am not even aware of.
No problem, I wasn’t sure how I came off either, knowing how some of the community can sometimes respond to posts criticising Linux/ranting about real issues, I just thought I’d make sure and clarify my intent.

So you’re the person who got all my bugs so I could have none.
Jokes aside, the pipewire stuff in particular sounds painful, this is a rat’s nest I am very glad I have not had to touch.

It has to be a sampling problem.

Ohh sorry, didn’t mean to come off like that, I was legitimately curious and went off into my rant about the community as a whole.

FWIW, I also hate the flatpak/snap trend btw…
