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 :)

@sentient_water depends what you like. Me, I love survival crafters, e.g. Valheim, Palworld Satisfactory. Elden Ring, Skyrim and Path of Exile get honorable mentions too. All seem to working fine under Proton (so far!)

@GentlemanTech I'll have to install proton. I'm actually getting back into gaming after decades of not playing. Love the look & feel of Skyrim & similar. Thanks for the tips.
