    I think my hardware might have had something to do with it, was trying on a somewhat older laptop. Most games would not launch even with Proton and even most Linux native games did not work even after a fair bit of troubleshooting. I get that some people might not have problems but I believe problems still remain widespread.

      Oh yeah, definitely.

      Still, I think you should try with better hardware when you can.

      Any differences will not be significant.

      Get a Steam deck. Holy hell I love mine.

        I’d rather not have to upgrade hardware that can run the games I want to play perfectly fine, hoping for improved support (or at the very least a straightforward way to tell specifically what the problem is). Though once Win10 ends it’s not like there’s going to be an alternative to Linux anyway since Win11 has strict requirements for new stuff.
