Not because Linux is slacking, but because it can&#8217;t quite check every single tickbox just yet. While I personally find Linux suitable as a replacement for my Windows workflow, others may find Linux lacking in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, it&#8217;s getting a lot harder to stop myself from pulling the party poppers and rolling out the cake, because January has already shown that     <span class=\"display-card-hyperlink-article\" data-id=\"1026900\">gaming on Linux is heading in an excellent direction<\/span>. Bazzite has announced that it&#8217;s entering a group called the Open Gaming Collective (OGC), and it should make it a lot easier to play your fave games on Linux.    <\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tThese are the only two Linux distros I&#8217;d use for gaming<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p>             &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/bazzite-reveals-the-open-gaming-collective-to-make-gaming-on-linux-even-better\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bazzite reveals the Open Gaming Collective to make gaming on Linux even better https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/bazzite-reveals-the-open-gaming-collective-to-make-gaming-on-linux-even-better\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":207653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/06\/bazzite-rx-9060-xt-3.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-207652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207654,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207652\/revisions\/207654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
