I have tried to use Linux for my gaming PC, but I always run into issues. The Finals refused to run, for example.

So, I gave up and just use Windows for gaming. Sigh.

I got Finals working on an i3 nvidia system basically by doing nothing more than installing Steam and then installing The Finals and playing through proton. What issues did you run into?

According to the game's Steam store page, it uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which generally does not work in Proton. Pretty common problem for people who want to play modern online games. I'm surprised you say it works for you.

		EAC has an option for Linux/Proton support, but it has to be explicitly enabled by the developer. I believe it ships a Linux binary that runs alongside the game, poking into the wine environment. EAC works just fine in proton with Halo Infinite, for example.

		It works fine, I've been playing it on Fedora since The Finals was released.

		There is a specific Proton EAC runtime you might have to install. Check under Library -> Tools.

		EAC works fine if the game has it enabled for Linux, which The Finals does (I play it).

Would you consider dual booting and spending more time with games that _do work_ on Linux?

		I'm afraid I only play a small number of titles, and none of them are particularly stable on Linux. I'm not going to change the type of gamer I am just for an OS.
