(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

What cope. I still run into countless compatibility issues which bars Linux from daily use for me. Stop trying to downplay proton compatibility, it just makes your arguments appear disingenuous.

I would fully switch over to Linux in a heartbeat if there was no compatibility problems.

Even if it had full comparability, you won't have switched to linux. You don't need reasons to do it, except your own wish

Eh, works fine for me. I have a lot of games to choose from, so I'm really not lacking on selection.

That said, I totally get it if it doesn't work for the things you need. Use what works. Linux works better for me than Windows, so it's what I use.

Some game updates just break proton compatibility.
