When can I reliably run ~95% of Steam titles on Linux with a Nvidia card? That's what I'm waiting for, then it's bye-bye Windows.

Many of the replies completely missed the part about Nvidia, sigh.

I unfortunately still see a lot of Proton bug reports that don’t repro on AMD cards. Hoping that improves soon, I’m sure Valve would love to tell hardware makers that Nvidia GPUs are supported.

I have been using Nvidia on Linux for years and am able to run 95%+ of my library on Steam.

Not seeing any issues with my NVidia card.

That’s awesome! But not everyone’s library is the same, so YMMV. I regularly see problems with flight sims that are Nvidia-specific, for example.

I have an nvidia card on catchyos with catchyos proton and I have not ran into a single game that does not run, well ok some only walk, but that's also a problem on AMD.

I am excluding games that rely on a kernelmode anticheat.

Games I've played on my Arch Linux desktop with a 4090 in the past few months: Clair Obscur, Disco Elysium, Outer Worlds, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk, Dispatch, Silent Hill f, FFVII Rebirth. I haven't had a single issue with any of these games. What games do you think will struggle? I can give them a shot if I own then and let you know how they do.

I've been using 30s and 40s just fine with both nvidia and nvidia-open so every time I see this I don't really understand what card or game we're talking about.

On the other hand when I tried a 6xx0 XT I always ran into an infamous "ring gfx timeout" GPU crash with certain applications on WINE [0]. Ended up giving that card to a cousin.
