Linux is now the best gaming system. ｜ fernvenue's Blog
blog.fernvenue.comWhen it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.
I just installed bazzite on a spare drive this week, trying to get off win11.
So far generally pretty impressed but hardware support is eh for some lesser known devices. For example my headset (Lucidsound LS50) detects the dongle but can’t find drivers for the dedicated wireless channel and Bluetooth is patchy at best.
It’s friction points like that that make migration from a lifetime of windows challenging.
Hopefully I’ll figure out a solution that doesn’t involve replacing the headset!
Man if only Linux was open source and manufacturers could easily create drivers for it at any time…
Sure but being able to and having a manufacturer actually do it are very different!
Well, at least you got that far. Imagine if you tried migrating to MacOS.
If you want a non immutable distro, I switched to Garuda after Bazzite and it has been great for gaming.
I’m new to Linux, sorry if this a dumb question butwhy would I want a non immutable distro? How would it help solve the hardware issue I described?

If the pain is not enough to replace a headphone with a new one , you most likely aren’t ready to change for linux right now. There will be more you need to learn, more which feels different and more which won’t work first try or even requiere you to rethink or replace things.
Not sure. Usually having BlueZ(Linux bluetooth audio stack) and glue in audio server or bluez-alsa should be enough.
