Thanks to all of Valve's effort with Proton, Steam Deck and their funding of people working on various other bits of Linux code like GPU drivers - the Linux share on Steam as of March 2024 bounced back to a near multi-year high.
I’m was talking about game stability. This is a gaming related topic right? Linux is stable but games had some issues.
Truthfully nothing major that stopped me from playing but I had to mess with proton in steam from time to time. Most recently the Last of Us crashes on start, not sure why it was fine previously. Also, there were some games anti cheat did not work and I needed to play in Windows.
Also, I have consistently had issues streaming to my steam Deck. Windows isn’t perfect either but it’s more likely to work the with windows. Sure maybe it’s my Nvidia GPU, but saying switch to amd does make my setup more stable.
I’ve not had a single breakage in the past ~4 years I’ve been on Fedora Workstation, despite me often moving to the beta channel. Pretty nice for an up-to-date distro.
It’s still coming, I have tried to switch using my desktop but still have. Needed to swap back to windows for stability.
That’s a very ironic sentence :)
For stability? A missing feature or software you need I get, but stability? Which distro/DE are you using?
Damn. Stability to me was one of the biggest reasons to use Linux - it does exactly what I expect it to do, never breaks, updates never break shit.

LOL never beaks. Most Linux distros are chock full of bugs that the end user has to work around
I haven’t seen that on Fedora, in the years that I’ve been using it.

I cannot say the same for Windows.
There’s a lot of reasons to stay on windows, never heard of stability being one haha. It’s bsod city over there lol
