Gave up my windows boot and only use Linux since recently. I kept using Windows for gaming (although it means I used it 99% of the time as a result). But retried linux gaming with Proton and everything runs smoothly enough for me. From big games like SF6 to native games like POE, it's such a pleasure to see that everything "just works" most of the time. I kept my W10 dual boot in case some specific game just cannot be handled by Linux.
With the switch to Lemmy and now a full switch to Linux, I'm glad I threw away all these adwares :-)
- For games in Linux there is wine. same for some programs. I nuked windows from my PCs long ago, its secluded on a VM just in case.
- I stopped checking protondb or winehq when buying a game. Games just work on Linux these days, and I assume by default that they will.
- Exactly what I have done too.
  Switched to Lemmy and to Linux Desktop.
  Dual booting Windows 10 probably until it stops receiving security updates, then all in on Linux.
  
  It sounds to me like a little excuse not going in all the way now. Hey, no offense here.
  I also have a Windows partition, I exclusively use it for the AntiCheat games I already own. I now check in advance if it's supported and otherwise just skip that game.
  
  I'm still in the Early days of Linux and I had trouble twice with other distros before.
  I think third time is the charm. Still I have been bitten before so I'm holding on to Windows for a while just to play it safe.
  I am daily driving Linux though, I hardly use windows. But I need a working computer so I can always fall back to Windows if all else fails.
  
  Ah, sounds reasonable.
