Thinking About Switching Back to Linux, Need Advice!

-

I’ve been using Linux for a week and really enjoyed it, but I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for Windows. On Windows, I feel like I have the freedom to do whatever I want, while on Linux, it feels like a hassle to search for Linux versions of my favorite apps. I’m particularly concerned about gaming, as I play titles like Fall Guys and Among Us, and dual booting seems complicated. Still, there’s something exciting about using Linux that I can’t quite put into words. I appreciate how clean and unbloated it is, but I’m also using an NVIDIA graphics card and I’m unsure if I should make the full switch back. Any suggestions?

You actually don’t need to dual boot for those games! If you haven’t already got Fall Guys on Steam, you can use Heroic Games Launcher for the Epic version. For Among Us, just enable Steam Play for all games in your Steam settings, and you should be good to go.

I have both those games on Epic, though. Does Heroic really work well for that?
