A similar question was raised some day’s ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I’m searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game’s and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.

Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that’s important…

    I keep hearing this from people but as someone who plays a lot of multiplayer FPS the only game I’ve had to give up is Rust.

    Even most EAC games seem to work if the developers allow Proton/Wine users.

      You probably don’t play garbage games then, like Fortnite, PUBG, Valorant, Destiny 2 etc. These, while garbage, are unfortunately very popular, which is why you keep hearing about why popular FPS games may not work in Linux.

        Fortnite

        One of these is not like the others

        But it’s crazy that Epic buys EAC then makes it Linux compatible only for them to not use it
