yeah, proton is amazing.

I'm using linux for 17 years or so, and just kept my gaming rig as my only windows machine.

Gaming on linux was super hit or miss. Sometimes wine (at its forks) worked nicely, sometime it was unusable.

It got a LOT better when everyone started using unity and unreal, as they have native linux compatibility, but proton now closed the gap nicely
