Nowadays, what are the drawbacks and limitations of using Linux for gaming? What distro would you guys advise?

  • I think the biggest challenge is anti-cheat. I don't know if there is any solution instead of waiting for native release (like Dota2 and CSGO). Also, although I don't like Microsoft GamePass, lacking the support of it means we may need to pay extra to try various games.

    I think Wine/Proton works really great nowadays (well I've repeated it at different places). As 2023-07-28, ProtonDB shows that in the top 1000 games, 75% are rated gold or better.

    When it comes to distro, I think most popular ones are good enough if they meet to conditions (1) packages are not too out-dated (2) Not difficult to install some non-free dependencies (like rpmfusion)

    • Is there a Linux mail app that's similar to the default one in Windows 10/11

  • I'm using Thunderbird for my outlook.office365.com email account which is managed by employer. It works perfect.

    1. Set server name to outlook.office365.com and Authentication method to OAuth2
    2. Thunderbird will give you a pop-up window, which let you fill in the username and password
    3. My account requires DUO, and it worked smoothly too.

    However, it's also possible that your administrator has different server settings, denying the access of Thunderbird.

    TLDR, I think it worth a try
