Tired of Microsoft's "agentic AI" push, excessive telemetry, and cloud features in Windows? You're not alone! Many gamers are looking to Linux for a fast, stable, and private gaming experience.

We explore just how easy it is to get up and running, test out some demanding titles like Baldur's Gate 3, and see how performance holds up—all without typing 50 commands into a terminal.
