Do someone have info about Wine/Proton progress with support for anticheat games that we cannot play on Linux?
This is a barrier for gamers who want to switch to Linux and leave Windows.

How is KDE plasma behavior today? Is it enough stable for a daily use and gaming ? How is it resources consuming ? I prefer light DE and keep resources for gaming.

I love this DE, I use it since several years now cause it uses lightweight resources (= more resources for gaming) and is highly customizable.

Debian and Debian-like distributions are not, to my experience, the best Linux distribution for gaming, their packages are not enough often updated and lack libraries dependencies. Arch and Aur are the way to follow for Linux gamers, SteamOS is ARCH based.
For the DE I suggest a light one to keep your resources for gaming, like XFCE.

What is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.

To my point of view Debian, Ubuntu and all Debian-like distributions could not be adviced for gaming.
For gaming on Linux in good conditions, you need recent libraries and apps.
That's one of the reasons I quit Ubuntu for Manjaro/Arch, with Flatpak and rolling release, you always have recent libraries and apps installed.
On another computer I installed OpenSuse Tumbelweed and I'm very satisfy too for gaming.

Weren;t there some engines like that in the past ?
Stratagus and Wargus ?

Stratagus is the strategy game engine, Wargus is the "Warcraft II" client and War1gus "Warcraft I" client.
There is even a Starcraft client called Stargus.
All are still in development: https://github.com/Wargus

I bought "Battle Chest® - Warcraft® Remastered" on Batlle.Net and I don't regret it, for an interesting price, you have:


Warcraft® I: Remastered
Warcraft® II: Remastered
Warcraft® III: Reforged (+ Spoils of War bonus)
Warcraft®: Orcs & Humans
Warcraft® II: Battle.net® Edition

And all are compatible out the box with Wine (I use Battle.Net on Lutris).
I advice this pack for all Warcraft fan.

Quoting: legluondunetIf only Steam had the courage to force Ubisoft and other video game publishers not to use their own launcher when selling their games on Steam, Steam being the launcher. I don't want a launcher in a launcher in a launcher...#inception It generates potential additional technical problems and it uses resources for nothing.

I'm really happy they don't.
I'm pretty sure that would be anti-competative and monopolistic behavior.
It costs resources, but it comes from a good place.

Steam has already what a second launcher like Ubisoft or...gives:
- DRM protection
- discussions
- achievements
- Steam workshop
- tchat
...

When you sell a game on Steam, editors should use Steam tools.
