I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.

Yep. It's so easy, so comfy rn, it's a pleasure.

My only worry, as I said, are specific programs, but as long as Linux is so good, I'd be better finding workatound from there than trying to emulate windows for them.

That's my thought on programs like that. Unless you absolutely have to run some extremely esoteric software or something from a company that just hates Linux, it's usually going to work just fine. It was completely worthwhile to deal with learning a new workflow on a few things to get all of the benefits. I found native replacements that work just as well if not better for every program that I used, except for my music player. I can't find anything that works quite as well as Aimp, so I just run it through Wine.

My viewpoint on a lot of things is to use what works for you. In my case, Windows didn't cut it anymore, so I switched to what did!
