I switched to macOS pretty for all my day-to-day, development and work uses, but still have a Ryzem+RTX (I do use Ray tracing features) desktop that I only ever use for gaming anymore.
I play games from Steam, GoG, Epic, and occasionally Xbox Game Pass.
The big problem here is I’m visually impaired and need a desktop environment that will let me consistently use a lime green mouse cursor and zoom in full screen via keyboard and scroll shortcuts.
At the risk of 1) nobody having actual experience and 2) the current Linux distro/DE ecosystem being hopelessly broken, what should I try?
I also only have some 2 hours a week for videogames. I can’t afford the time to tinker, after the transition and setup period.
I’m perfectly happy with “you’re outta luck, buddy, just suffer through Windows,” but I figure it can’t hurt to ask…
Others have already commented on the accessibility stuff, and Xbox game pass.
I’ll add that if you do give it a go, I recommend heroic launcher for managing Epic and GOG games.
It is able to handle installation, as well as running stuff with the wine/proton compatibility layer, for games that need it.
That sounds awesome!
It is! Heads up on a known bug tho, which will already be fixed in the next release. GOG games can show up as “not installable” for seemingly no reason preventing them from being installed.
