Nah people just frame it as if you need to buy it, while that’s not true. No I’m not defending scummy practices, I’m just pro supporting software that you enjoy. That people like you can’t handle others opinions and immediately resort to calling it “fanboy or useful idiot.” The world doesn’t need to be a copy pasta of opinions
For me on ZorinOS, installing steam as flatpak gave me very bad performance on all games. Had to reinstall the APT version and now it runs smooth.
Also some games enable AMD settings because of Proton/Wine. If you are running Nvidia then untoggle these settings. I had this for Marvel Rivals. After disabling it performance was good.
