Now that games run so well on Linux I have pretty much shut down windows in it's entirety from my life. It has been a long time coming and it feels great!
I keep a Windows partition around for special cases but I have not had to use it in a long time. Starfeild will probably force me into it for the first time in a long time. The whole Windows experience is insulting to anyone with any self respect. It has not always been this way.
Even for non-gamers, the magic dust that keeps many Windows games usable on Linux can also be used for non-game Windows apps and everyone can benefit from those compatibility leaps and bounds.
If you're one of those people who like Linux but still need to have a Windows install to run That One App for work or whatever, WINE/Proton/etc. may be of use to you.
Wine is rarely of much use to anyone.
Are there still games that just don't run on linux? I messed around with it like 6 years ago but didn't dig too deep, because my main 3 games were the ones that didn't run on linux.
Destiny 2 comes to mind. Bungie has indicated there's 0 interest in making it compatible with Linux ever.
Usually if it can't run on Linux it's because of kernel level anti-cheat. The vast majority of Steam's library works out of the box with Proton nowadays.
Roblox doesn't run on Linux at the moment because the devs have blocked proton and wine. Which, well, pisses me off because I want to put Linux on my daughter's PC.
Yes, usually games with anti cheat, like Destiny 2. Although it’s way better nowadays, mostly thanks to Valve.
same here, started using endeavourOS 2 weeks back and haven't looked been. I still need Windows for games with anti cheat like honkai star rail, etc but ever since using Linux as daily driver after years of twiddling my thumbs feels really great and refreshing
