That was before Steam Deck and Proton, though, so I should probably test it all again.
The steam deck is exactly what convinced me to give Linux a whirl on my main gaming pc again.
Everything that runs on a steam deck should run on any Linux PC.
So far I have zero regrets, performance of the games i’ve played to date is on par with what I was seeing on Windows, even with Nvidia’s notoriously bad reputation for Linux support.
Proton is an absolutely bonkers development.
I do have to end this by saying I don’t do online gaming so I have not had to deal with anti-cheat bullshit that doesn’t want to work on anything that’s not Windows and 99.9 percent of my games exist in either Steam or GOG. (the latter of which is supported on Linux with the Heroic launcher)
The way it’s looking now, I consider the chance of me migrating back to Windows on my private machines near zero.
