Thanks to all of Valve's effort with Proton, Steam Deck and their funding of people working on various other bits of Linux code like GPU drivers - the Linux share on Steam as of March 2024 bounced back to a near multi-year high.

    I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn’t figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.

    I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -

    1. I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn’t afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.

    2. I couldn’t play games using steam proton. I don’t know the situation these days, but I’ll surely check it out If it has improved since then.

    You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.
