There are many games that run well in Linux, including a large portion of the Steam library!

If you meant a specific game to run, well then you need to weight your pros and cons and stop whining when you make your decision.

Alternatively, dual boot.

Or he could ignore people like you and just use Windows. If you're going to have a bunch of headaches you may as well stick to the ones you're familiar with on the system that actually does what you want pretty well.

GP is the one who said he'd move to linux if there were games. I didn't imply he was wrong for using Windows. I think you (and all other siblings) are reading more into my comment than there actually is.

I do that for GTA5. The only time I switch back to Windows. I don't even restart, I just hibernate linux and then everything is still there when I come back!

Try running Dota 2 on Windows then run it on Linux (it is available to install from Steam for Linux) and then get back to me.

Last time I tried it a few years ago, it was ~10fps on linux, and a solid 100+fps on windows.

Alternatively, grow up and stop playing games.

That's not really what "growing up" means.

Ever played a card or board game as an adult? Why would playing video games as an adult be any different?
