    Happy Linux player. I play mostly single player so I don’t have many issues. For anyone thinking about switching

    • if your games are on steam it’s really easy to run them and most of the times you just have to install them and press play
    • if a game is new you may need to switch it to a newer version of Proton while the main one gets updated. It takes 2 clicks to open the compatibility settings tab and then you can select the version
    • if a game needs a custom setting to run you’ll probably read it on protondb and it takes 2 clicks to add it
    • go on protondb and log with your steam account to check how many of your games are compatible, gold or platinum means it’s good
    • compatibility gets better every week
    • mods may be harder to install
    • Linux is easy to use
    • Nvidia cards works well on Linux
    • yes, sometimes you may break it but you can also fix it. The official windows forum is a graveyard full of “you have to reinstall windows”
    • you can try Linux without installing it (but don’t use it for gaming or stuff that need reboots because live install lose changes)
    • dual boot works so you don’t need to drop windows immediately

    This is my protondb compatibility tab for around 1600 games
