Yeah me too. I only look up aaa stuff because of intrusive anti cheat or other launchers and stuff. But I don't play much of this anyways atm

It's gotten to the point that I buy games without looking them up first.

Same here. That was how I knew things had changed.

Let's also not forget that while Elden Ring was waiting for a patch on release day to avoid stuttering on Windows, it never stuttered on Linux due to shader precaching in Proton. I try and tell that story to people on the fence about switching. A lot of people have this idea that Linux is "catching up" -- in some sense, it is the opposite, in that I can sometimes get better performance on Linux vs Windows even with Windows binaries.

This has been the best part of how it's developed the past few years. I've recently bought lies of p, baldur's gate 3, and sons of the forest (at 1.0) without needing to look up anything. All three simply installed and ran great. So nice not having to fiddle with launch options and stuff.
