    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.

      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.

      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 found it very easy to get my games working, but experiences will vary. Most games were zero effort because it was handled automatically.

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