      I play games on my systemd-less void and i've ran into zero (0) issues so far, and i even managed to pirate some games, and hook them up as .exes into steam so i can use proton on them.
      Gaming on loonix is comfy.

      Yeah when Apex came out with Lunix support I deleted windows and actually started playing the game more often because I didn't have to dual boot.

      See you in the arenas anon.

      Same here. It's also really convenient to be able to put a few flags in a game's launch options to enable FSR for an easy FPS boost.

        CSGO isn't that bad.
        He could have been playing some botnet-eque level game like LoL, GenshinILOVECHILDREN or something even worse.
        CSGO is fine, and as long as you can play it, you're good.

      Everytime I tried the native version of csgo on linux it has audio and imput lag. I usually just switched to proton for that reason alone (it also fixed the garbage font rendering in opengl) but you can't do that anymore without the game giving me an error when I start it. 0/10 because it's an fps

      in my experience it was perfectly playable and i didn't notice anything unusual but ive only ever played for around 40 hours so i can't give as great a review. if you had asked about team fortress 2 i would say anything that gives windows players the option of directx and opengl, dx will generally have a more favorable performance than opengl every time but the native ports for linux obviously only support that. im sure if it turned out csgo had a similar performance problem to tf2, then you could mitigate it with lower settings. surely those compgays have developed a csgo alternative to mastercomfig because it solves all my lincuck problems

      It's been possible to run Epic games for a while now. With the success of the Steam Deck progress is moving even faster for a lot of games.
      Most gaymers won't move beyond the Steam Deck, but there will be an uptick in Linux gaming.

      are you able to open a terminal with whatever hotkey it provides? that would at least provide the feedback that it wasn't frozen, but rather a kde windowmanager problem. in which case maybe check session and startup for something wacky. i would personally ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 or whatever to get into a cli environment and see if journalctl (if using systemd) spits out any useful garbage. like if you are hanging on a specific step, like hard drive mounting or something. what distro? did you try to do a partial upgrade like pacman -Sy packagename (a bad idea)?
