With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A large portion of my Steam library is compatible, but anytime I have done an install I end up giving in and going back to Windows for games.

    Why is that so? Do you have a slow internet connection or something? Just curious because I stream games from XCloud and it’s been a good experience so far.

      I have 1gig internet and it works great in every situation except for streaming games. I may give it another go and see if I feel any differently (may work better on a wired connection?)

        I have gigabit as well and it works great on both wired and wireless. But I do have a WiFi 6 router and a my devices are WiFi 6 as well. But yeah, wired will definitely work better regardless.
