Only for the kind of gaming that is itself a cancer: the one that wants to install a rootkit "anticheat" on your system.

I have a steam deck since the launch of the device and even stuff like old C&C games run on it. Hell, the little guy is able to run even FF16!

Edit: typo

I have had a hell of a time trying to get Shadow Empire running. It's the only title I have found that doesn't have kernel-level anticheat that doesn't work on Linux.

Haven't tried it myself, but people report they are getting it running following some steps in its protonDB page

There are still some obscure games that dont work ( or are hard enough to setup that i couldnt do it ) on linux regardless of anticheat. Sins of solar empire and knights and mechants in my case were particulary problematic if i remember correctly.

I tried running the games that I need Windork for some time ago, but got fed up tweaking the stuff. I'll give it a try soon.

Btw, I only do PC gaming, no consoles or mobile.

My main gaming device is now a steam deck. I've run on it mostly everything I'm interested in. I reckon I don't like competitive games, so I never tried lol or Fortnite or CoD or anything of the likes, but the deck at home is running from Genshin impact to Final Fantasy 14. No man's sky, assassin's creed odyssey, ff16 demo, and every indie I wanted to play.

And except for games like Genshin impact or honkai star rail (not for me but for my SO) which needed a different launcher and some small tweaking, the rest of the games have been running "out of the box", doing no tweaking at all.
