For sure. That is a pretty good state to be in---most games work in a few well known distros. If you use something else, you have to DIY some compatibility steps once in a while.

You should know that Ubuntu is not one of those anointed distros. The distros where steam just works are distros specifically set up for linux gaming.

  • I use Arch, and everything has just worked.

    I’m not surprised that Ubuntu isn’t too well. Interestingly, Debian works well from what I have heard.
