i’ve been interested in switching to linux for gaming but i’m not sure how the games i play run; i like to play Apex legends and Overwatch 2 competitively. can linux run these games with low latency and high frame rate? i’m looking into the Nobara project and pikaOS distros

Well... sometimes I run across some bugs with OW2 playing in Linux, for example:

  • Battle.net freezing before login
  • Everytime that I died the game stop detecting keyboard inputs, but after alt + tab the game detect again.
  • Random performance drops

Is nothing big but I not playing competitive anymore, I imagine if I was playing competitive I'll be pretty pissed off if a bug like that occurred during a match(the battle.net case only if I had to restart the game/PC during a match)
