    I would love to one day switch over completely to Linux. Microsoft has got me trapped with their games.

      I’m quite the gamer and run into very few issues gaming on linux these days. Proton is a game changer. The only real issues are if you’re trying to run the latest AAA game at peak performance, or games with certain anti-cheat. But I would say more than half of the anti-cheat games still just work for me.

        Or if a company decides for some cursed reason to use windows media codecs for their game’s cutscenes.

        One day ill get to play kingdom hearts on linux with all the cutscenes. That day is not today.

          Interesting, I guess there’s licensing issues for steam/proton to distribute the proprietary codecs? Seems like there should still be a way via unofficial means.

          Did a quick search, have you seen this?

      Most games work really good on Linux these days. Maybe not the latest AAA games but really, almost everything.

      I don’t even engage with their gaming platform. It’s those darned foreign adult games that are windows only.
