I run Linux basically everywhere as a sysadmin, I'm comfortable on linux... But my main desktop was always Windows (Games mainly). About every year I try to main Linux.. and usually get by a few weeks or maybe a month before I cave. This year... I've swapped over and it's been a long time. I think that windows got so bad at this point that I no longer find the "downfalls" or negatives of linux as worse anymore...
I was in the same boat as you, ended up deciding to give up the mouse and keyboard and went all in on console gaming to give up my PC. So glad I did
I dunno proton has been really good for me. Only game I don't have installed is Siege and CoD... Baldur's gate and all the other ones I had installed prior seem to run just fine now.
Sorry, but I can't. The 7950x3d, and 7900xtx just make games so pretty.
That's why I love my steam deck. Can play any of my PC libraries (Steam, Epic, emulation, etc) with additional games at great prices more often than not. Touchpads are really nice too.
Plus Linux gaming is really catching up to Windows, especially if you aren't huge into competitive multiplayer games with invasive system-level anticheats.
