Epic does have its steamworks alternative called epic online services which provide more or less the same functionality (achievements, p2p networking, anti cheat...) but it's also completely free, cross store, and cross engine

I heard back than that the open source driver is pretty much just a layer of abstraction and that most actual code runs in the firmware which is proprietary

Update : i've been trying doom eternal with raytracing for quite some time now and the performance is excelent. It never drops below 144Hz with all settings maxed out at 1080p. I know that doom is really well optimised so don't take this as a general review.

 

I have bought a radeon RX 6800 recently to avoid dealing with NVIDIA headaches (especially since i daily drive hyprland) and so far it has been going pretty good. But i heard that raytracing still performs way lower then on windows which would be very bothering since i really like raytracing in games. Can anyone enlighten me if this fact is still true or is the performance difference became negligable

Valve's custom wayland compositor used on steam os

 

Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux
