      I’ve dabbled in linux for years but could never break my reliance on windows. I got a Steam deck and realized there was enough compatibility to justify moving to linux. So I just recently gave a flavor of linux called Nobara a shot. It’s by a Red Hat engineer that contributes heavily to getting games working in linux through Proton. My experience has been way better but I wouldn’t say perfect. I think it’s worth checking out to see if it works for you.

        I will wait until I can conveniently play all my games on linux and then make the switch. Seems like we are getting closer but are not quite there yet.

      Check out protondb.

      Pretty much the only thing you cant play are games with really nasty AntiCheat/DRM.

      Everything else, if its not good now? It’ll probably be good in a update or two from proton/GE

        I love Linux, I hate Windows, I installed Linux, but there was one thing proton could not hanlde, all my visual novels. I’ll completely switch to linux when it supports visual novels or Virtual Machines with a smooth performance (or when I finish reading all the visual novels) Damn, I’m trapped on Windows 10 until that day.

        Yes but from what I know Proton can only make some of the games I like work on linux and some not. That is inconvenient and a pretty big downside because it would force me to use a boot manager and go dual OS just to be able to play all my games, something I could also do just with windows only.

      you can play most of your games. considering the pros its worth letting a few games go. its not like you dont even enough to play with…
