i’ve been interested in switching to linux for gaming but i’m not sure how the games i play run; i like to play Apex legends and Overwatch 2 competitively. can linux run these games with low latency and high frame rate? i’m looking into the Nobara project and pikaOS distros

    Usually the games can run as solid as on windows. Only issue tends to be anti-cheat software not playing nice. Apex seems to function well via Proton. Checkout ProtonDB for a list of what’s working.

          Well… sometimes I run across some bugs with OW2 playing in Linux, for example:

          • Battle.net freezing before login
          • Everytime that I died the game stop detecting keyboard inputs, but after alt + tab the game detect again.
          • Random performance drops

          Is nothing big but I not playing competitive anymore, I imagine if I was playing competitive I’ll be pretty pissed off if a bug like that occurred during a match(the battle.net case only if I had to restart the game/PC during a match)
