This might just be the push I need to switch to Linux desktop.

Do it. With proton the last argument for me to use windows is gone (gaming).

Well, it's not GONE. There are still plenty of games that won't run well on Linux, or they won't allow online multiplayer because their anti-cheat software is restricted to Windows. But that number is getting smaller every day.

I'm still on windows because I multibox my main game and the tools to do it don't work, alt tab is a goddamn mess, minimize window on focus loss is a fucking nightmare, and multiple instances of proton just chew up system resources until the game starts lagging so hard I need to quit every client and try again.

it's an edge case but that's quite a lot to deal with when windows just works.
