DOOM (2016) runs like silk, but it’s on the initial list of games that are supposed to work. Just for fun, I tried out several others: Dishonored, Skyrim, Call of Juarez Gunslinger, and Bejeweled 3 (I wanted a mixed bag), and all worked fine. Dishonored required some tweaking of my graphics settings, but everything worked. This really is an amazing achievement and potentially a game-changer (pun intended). One of the chief reasons Windows retains such huge market share is gaming, and as Steam continues to improve Proton, Linux might begin to win over those who have traditionally stayed with Windows because they want to play the most recent game titles. So far, and this is just the beta, Steam has something here that could really impact the appeal of Linux as a viable gaming system.
