What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux?
I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it's the package manager.

I used to have this problem but not since the Steam Deck is out.
Before, I was always frustrated fiddling with Lutris, winetricks, etc. But now it's only been plug and play for me, just let Steam take care of it. Zero compatibility issues. In fact, recently I've had more issues with native games than Proton.
That or Bottles, that also takes care of a lot of the fiddly stuff.
i have a pc, im not about to buy a console again any time soon especially when its a handheld that isnt exactly suited for anything than games that need a controller
I'm not talking about buying a Steam Deck, I'm talking about the effect it has had on Linux gaming in general.
I mostly play on a laptop with a Radeon GPU and it's been absolutely issue free gaming wise.
