My name is Radomir and I used Linux from time to time since the release of Mandrake 8 when I was just a kid. Unfortunately I was (and I still am) too much a gamer person, so I had to stay on Windows for all this time. And the thing was, in that time when I was a kid, Linux in Polish language was almost impossible to get due to limited internet access in Poland in early 2000s.
Fortunately, recently Linux has changed sooo much if it comes to gaming, and overall usability, that I decided some time ago to format my disk with Windows completely, and use it as a storage for music on my Xubuntu (sic!). I just had to!
We came all this way for so long and finally I can say: "Yeah! Gaming on Linux is definitely a thing!".
I noticed this website around a month ago, and I'm visiting it almost everyday, so yeah, hello everyone again, and let's rock with true gaming on our beloved operating system! Greetings!

Hi Linda,
Welcome to this great community. May I ask why did you decide to change to Windows? Was it gaming related? Which distro did you use before.
Don't worry, I'm asking simply out of curiousity, everyone is welcomed here, no matter what OS you use.

I loved to play Rainbow Six Siege and a bit Fortnite, but hey there are also other good games on Linux as I saw here already. On the PS 4 I love to play games like The Last of Us, Assassin's Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn or Fifa for example.
Maybe I'll switch back to Counter Strike soon, plus I haven't played the Battle Royale mode yet. The first games I played on Linux were SuperTuxKart and the point-and-click adventure Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure.

I discovered Linux in 2010 with Ubuntu, when I still was a console gamer. Quickly Linux became my dayli driver and after a few I got rid of windows (vista) In 2015, when I bought a new pc, a gaming pc these time, I had to reuse windows (8). It wasn't to my taste, but drivers for gaming hardware and GPU was way much easier to manage, and game availability was of course much better.
But I couldn't help my self, I loved Linux much more than windows, so I dualbooted again, and purchased 3 Linux compatible game (dying light, hammerwatch and Schroedinger's cat and the raider of the lost quark) just to see if Linux could be a viable gaming platform, and it was, I never looked back to windows, and I'am now a Linux gamer ^_^.

I'm a long time Linux user and gamer.
I think i'm going to feel right at home here :)
Thanks
...or rather, hello :)
Realized I haven't used the forum here yet, and was reminded of it by Twitter. I've been using Linux full time since 2015, mostly Linux Mint, though I'll have to drop it shortly (they're dropping my DE of choice).
thank you

Hopefully I would be able to meet other Linux gamers as well. Thanks for taking the time to read.

I remember first getting interested in linux 20 years ago.. Finally made the switch as a full-time Windows desktop replacement last year and haven't regretted a minute of it
Currently *just* upgraded my rig -- wanted to be ready for Cyberpunk 2077 when it drops finally
