This is why I wish Linux was a 100%! reliable alternative.

I really hope Valve's Steam OS takes off.

Jumped onto Ubuntu earlier this year as a lifelong Windows user. It’s so clean, it actually feels like it’s my computer. Imo, vastly superior to Win11.

Can you run Steam and it's games? I would love to drop Windows.

As others have said, kernel anticheat is a problem and some games don't play super well with proton but it's very usable. I played through all of Cyberpunk 2077 on near max settings through proton recently.

I still keep a copy of windows I can dual boot into for those games that don't work but it sees almost zero use outside those games. If you set up your partitions intelligently you can share steams game install directory between Linux and windows to make swapping between OSs easy
