Yeah, enjoy that... I've tried it enough times to find the process cumbersome and full of troubleshooting. In the right state of mind I enjoy that, but I could never straight up ditch windows as someone who games often. Sometimes you just want to download a new game and play it.

Linux will get there, if things keep going that direction. It's not there yet, though.

I've played games on my Linux desktop without so much as even needing to care it's running on Linux via Steam and Proton for years now, and it's only getting better. Basically the only games I've seen not work are the ones with kernel level ~~rootkit~~ anti cheat really.

But... that's part of the joy 🤨...

Who said you have to ditch Windows 🤨. I mostly use Wine so I don't have to restart and boot into Windows or fire up a VM. It's just simpler.
