These 6 myths about gaming on Linux just aren't true (except one)

Over the years, many things have been said about gaming on Linux. Some of these were true at the time, some weren't, but they've turned from objective facts to vague mythology. What is true now is that, because of Valve and the work they put into SteamOS for the Steam Deck handhelds, gaming on Linux is every bit as viable as on Windows, and in some cases, even better. The lower system load of Linux is perfect for PC gaming handhelds, and their restricted power levels, but it's also just as good for desktop users. There are one or two things still holding it back from being an equal fight between Linux and Windows, but the gap has never been closer.
