    • Gaming experience for me has been flawless, but I come from using Chrome OS and literally anything is better than that. Your friend in Linux gaming is https://www.protondb.com/ for steam games. In steam settings you can "enable steam play for all other titles" to get most games to run. Multiplayer games are still a bit iffy though. For titles on Epic Games/GOG, Heroic games will be your ally. For all other games, you can use https://lutris.net. Warframe is playable through Lutris. If running a game doesn't work on first click, try searching up that game with linux in your favorite search engine and someone might have a fix.
