    You don’t need widows to game anymore (Proton the game software for Linux, not Proton the VPN/email provider)

      I’ll switch once HDR support becomes mainstream in Linux. That and a Linux equivalent of AutoHDR (which is a Windows 11 feature that converts SDR videos and games to HDR). This is literally the only thing keeping me on Windows.

        I have to make this nitpick:

        “you” are the one keeping you on windows. You decide that those features are more important than any disadvantages.

        Which I think is absolutely OK - that’s your choice. Many many people took this choice for a myriad of reasons and are the sum of “windows majority” - and no “I would change if” will perpetuate either feature development on Linux programs nor pressure on Microsoft.

    Steam on Linux uses Proton to play Windows games. Ain’t perfect, but perfect enough I don’t need windows anymore.
