But my desktop… Not sure if I’m ready for that yet. :/

create a bootable USB disk and try it out, you don't need to fully commit until you feel ready

Yeah I had it on dual boot for a while, but I rarely started it. I'd need to put some effort into it. Win10 currently isn't so bad ( for gaming ).

But I am happy to see Linux gaming picking up.

if your machine is already dual boot I guess you already did most of the hard lifting, you just have to break that windows bad habit now :)

I had removed the partition and now I'm having a PITA to get PopOs to install at all.

"This GPT partition label contains no BIOS boot partition".

I'll need to figure out what's wrong there.

Just needed to boot the USB drive as UEFI rather than just boot from the USB drive. I swear these are hurdles for the sake of creating them...

Installed battle.net as a non-steam app and forcing it to use proton. It's installing and I haven't had to do anything. That's a good start at least.
