  "summary": "A user's experiment with running games from their Steam library on a Linux install revealed that only a handful of games were nonfunctional. The user, who has been using CachyOS as their daily driver, tested every game in their library and found that the list of non-compatible games is smaller than ever.\n\nThis outcome suggests that Linux compatibility for games is improving. The user had a separate drive for Windows but only used it for applications that refused to run on Linux, a list that continues to shrink.\n\nThe user's experience is a positive development for Linux users who want to play games on their operating system. With more games becoming compatible, users have a wider range of options for gaming on Linux.",
