Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron

if I didn't work in IT and I didn't play certain video games and I didn't need certain recording software I would be 100% Linux it kind of pisses me off that I can't be 100%.

That was a whole lot of "If I didn't just" statements xD

Still, VMs and containers and such. Could still do it if you wanted.

Proton is revolutionary but it still isn't a solution for every game. And that's not even getting into the lack of support Nvidia gives to anything Linux.

I mean I've yet to come across a game that is unsupported on my Steam Deck. For all intents and purposes, gaming on Linux is the real deal.

The main issue comes when the game is using proprietary stuff. Like I found getting Kingdom Hearts to run at all was a pain in the arse because of it using a proprietary codec for it's cutscenes.

I also found Hand of Fate 2 had some weird rendering issues with certain graphics settings.

And if you want to do Ray tracing or HDR you're currently out of luck.
