the only reason why I still using windows is gaming. give me a platform where I can use steam and gog and I will not be touching windows ever again if not in a professional capacity.

Fuck subscription models

You can use Proton on Linux to make Steam and windows games work. It's the same way the Steam Deck runs games even though it's Linux based.

I need to have a look at it. thank you for the suggestion

Lutris + Proton.

Baldur's Gate 3? Yep.

Cyberpunk with raytracing, DLSS, and mods? Yep (a bit of tinkering required)

I boot Windows only for Battlefield 2042 now, thanks to DICE's implementation of EAC

I have been playing CS2, War Thunder and so many games on Linux (Zorin OS). Three years now full time on Linux. And I am a newbie, never used the command line ahah
