Linux isn't perfect but I don't have to put up with that kind of bullshit from the makers of my OS. Glad I switched long ago and never looked back (except for the Windows laptop I keep around for games)

Just out of curiosity, what games do you need a windows machine to play that proton can't make work on Linux?
A lot of games I want to play with mods, the authors only release Windows installers. A great example is Battletech, the HBS remake. There's a "BTA advanced" mod I like to run and it takes a lot of screwing around to get it to work properly in Linux, but it's a few clicks on Windows. I will agree Proton has come a LONG way and some titles are perfect, but I get so little gaming time that when I sit down, I don't want to fucking around with swapping various Glorious Eggroll versions of Wine, or wondering which version of .net I need to get the game to run under Linux. On Windows it "just works".
I do have a few titles I play on Linux, but I keep that laptop around just for gaming because I don't want to mess around. Anecdotally I would say 90% of my games work absolutely perfectly with Proton and it's mostly mods that screw up the experience.
Yup 100% on point with that. I'd say for me its 95% of my games work absolutely fine through proton. But I have a 500gb windows partition for the 5% that don't.
For me, its Battlefield. Most of them no longer work on Linux due to EA Anticheat

I am not worried about the firing part. This lady and her friends must have been added to the DHS list. They are going to deport her if she is on any visa or PR.
We have been deporting citizens for years.

"We might not be a good fit."
Well, what did they expect?
They probably expected their employer not to participate in genocide.
What a dummy, right?!?! \s
Of course they did
