I’ve made peace with the fact that I won’t be able to play certain games. Their loss; there’s plenty of other games to buy with my money.

Same.

I have a backlog of games years long, the fact that I can't put Battlefield or Valorant on that list doesn't diminish my ability to play amazing games 24/7 if I wanted.

Expedtion 33, Blue Prince, Hollow Knight, Silksong, Hades 2, ARC Raiders, Helldivers 2, Path of Exile 2, Deep Rock Galactic, etcetcetc.

I have over 200 games in my Steam library and every single one works on Linux. I'll worry about the 5 kernel anti-cheat games once I get to the end of my list...
