Indeed, I’ve been exclusively running Fedora KDE on both my desktop and my laptop for a little over a year. It took all of maybe an hour to get it installed on both, get steam and all of the applications I wanted installed, and be ready to start downloading games on both computers.
I also have yet to find a game, aside from games with kernel level anticheat and a small handful of VR titles that isn’t perfectly playable. Some have needed a little bit of tweaking to run optimally, but if you’re a PC gamer that’s par for the course.
An hour is less than a windows pc fresh install. After you download each driver for your mother board etc. Fedora was steam and the nvidia driver. It was like 3 commands.
I am a pc gamer but I don’t have a massive library. Chose punk, read dead, forza 5, doom, and the command and conquer package is what I mostly play. 0 issues with any of them and I didn’t have to tweak anything.
I haven’t tried vr yet, letting that one bake in but I’d like to try MS flight simulator or dcs with vr
In a case like SteamOS where it’s custom built for the hardware, then yes. As a general set it up yourself situation on a desktop, then no.
(You guys severely underestimate the ‘mainstream’ gamer)
Fedora kde takes like 5 min to set up and start downloading games on steam. Not sure why you think it’s not ready.
