I’m in this camp. I use my PC mainly for gaming, and it runs Linux. All the games I care about are supported just fine with Steam and Proton. Not every game is compatible, but it works for the ones I want to play.

I think a primary use for windoze machines is gaming. I hear that the steam deck has pushed a lot of games into playable states on Linux.
So I hope this makes it much easier to switch from windoze to Linux.

People are saying in another part of this thread that many games with anticheat actually work on Linux.

I moved to Linux Mint about 4 weeks ago (with optional dual boot Windows). All the games I tried have worked so far, even when not officially supported (turn on Proton compatibility in steam settings). If your multiplayer games use anticheat, Linux is a no go.
If you happen to have 2 harddrives, try installing Linux on one to see if it’s something for you.
