Finally switched my gaming desktop over to Linux this weekend. The whole Windows 11 "upgrade" thing was getting too bizarre, and my experience with the Steam Deck showed that everything I want to play will work with Proton.

And that's the last instance of Windows I have - all my work moved to Mac or Linux years ago. None of my last several roles have been using Microsoft tech.

Experience so far has been great. Ubuntu install was perfect, Proton works perfectly, Steam is happy. I'm happy :)

@GentlemanTech I've just got a machine powerful enough for Steam any game suggestions?

With Proton, most games that were Windows-only just work on Steam. I switched my gaming laptop to Mint a couple months ago and have not had any major issues.
