I'm already committed to leaving for Linux after 25 or so years of Windows as my usual desktop OS, mostly to run Steam

Even though I’ve always run Linux in some capacity, I always kept a Windows gaming PC.

Fully made the jump to Linux gaming about 1.5 years ago, and haven’t looked back. Thanks to the awesome progress on Proton, I can play just about everything I care about. The primary problems come from games with specific anti-cheat engines, but I find those are the kinds of games I don’t really play.

Also finally switched from X11 to Wayland/Niri, and Wayland is finally stable enough. Better gaming performance than X11 as well.

Valve still needs to cut their dependency on Windows ecosystem, Proton exists while Microsoft Games/XBox decides it isn't something hurting their bottom line.
