I have recently replaced my old AMD workstation with a newer one that I designed to be also capable of running modern games
After assembling the machine, everything went very smoothly and I was playing Jedi Survivor in no time under Steam.
I have downloaded the latest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed image so I had recent Linux kernel and Mesa. Installed without a hitch. I set the KDE desktop to Wayland.
Then I installed Steam with Discover (coming from the SUSE package repos).
Downloaded Jedi Survivor with Steam, clicked on Play and pronto, I was playing the game. (Performance seems to be great, no funny artifacts, no audio issues or performance hitches. I play on 1080p with EPIC settings).
At no point in the process, did I have to configure anything in the CLI (although I prefer that if a setting needs to be made).
Linux desktops and gaming have come very far, I think I would have had to work much more with Windows.
Big thanks for everybody working on Linux in general and on the Linux gaming ecosystem.
