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.
