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.
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.
I´d gladly ditch windows immediately if I could only play all my games on linux …

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
Nice, I didn´t know things where lookin so good!
Have you heard of Proton?
