I made the switch a few months ago with a Win backup drive just in case. It sadly saved my bacon on a couple occasions. Still, I (mostly) use Arch, btw.

Relic released the Definitive Edition of Dawn of War last week. It ran with no issues until I started playing with a friend who's on Windows. Then we encountered frequent game-breaking desync issues specific to Linux/Win crossplay. Not even a week after release, the devs pushed a hotfix for this (among other things).

It's a good sign that gamedevs have started taking Linux compatibility seriously, and that makes me very happy!
