I'm not trying to twist your arm or change your mind, and certainly not trying to convince you to go install linux right now, Just giving you some first hand experience in response to your statements.

But honestly, it is near seamless as is. Especially if you mostly play steam games. The only games that don't work are ones that use grossly invasive anticheats, like Asian MMOs.

Check out protondb.com if you havent yet and look up the type of games you generally play.

and if you play games from other sources, theres usually a lutris script to install it with 1 click.

Just to give a recent example, I was playing Starfield the second it unlocked via proton with zero technical issues.
