 Ga> hi!

 Ga> If you aren't already aware, there are a few excellent options for gaming
 Ga> on Linux these days, with a lot of credit going towards Valve and the
 Ga> Steam Deck. Thousands and thousands of Windows games play perfectly on
 Ga> Linux today. Even brand new games can work great under Linux. I've
 Ga> recently purchased Battle Bit on Steam, which is a new Windows first
 Ga> person shooter, and it "just works" - great framerate, etc.

 Ga> Steam itself will use Proton (Wine) for Linux compatibility with almost
 Ga> the entire Steam library, basically right out of the box. Install Steam
 Ga> for Linux and start playing games you already own. You can look at the
 Ga> Proton Database for game compatibility under Proton/Steam:
 Ga> https://www.protondb.com 

 Ga> Check out Lutris, a Linux game launcher that supports games from almost
 Ga> any source (Steam, Origin, GOG, Humble, Epic, etc). You can also search
 Ga> the Lutris site's Database for games and compatiblity:
 Ga> https://lutris.net/games 

 Ga> Also take a look at the Heroic Launcher, which has excellent support for
 Ga> Epic and GOG games.

 Ga> If you are into Final Fantasy XIV, there is a native Linux launcher for
 Ga> the game and it runs excellent under Linux.

 Ga> If you have a Playstation 4 or 5, and want to experiement with Remote
 Ga> Play, look for Chiaki, an open source remote play app for Sony consoles
 Ga> (also available on mobile platforms, even Switch homebrew).

 Ga> We are experiencing the best time ever (so far) for Linux gaming right
 Ga> now. Linux has surpassed Mac for the second most popular PC gaming OS
 Ga> (thank you Steam Deck). Its been a long wait, but we're here. Wine (and
 Ga> its varients, like Proton) have bridged the gap.

 Ga> Enjoy your linux gaming!

Ah thanks, but I already sorta know about the steam stuff. Thanks for the info tho, I may check out FFXIV if it's not too expensive.
