But more seriously, you’d be astonished at the progress over the last ~3 years. I don’t play that many games but have yet to run into one that doesn’t work.
You’d be surprised how many Windows-only games run better on Linux+Proton than on Windows itself. There is far less system overhead on Linux.

Not using Windows.

Yeah, gaming is the primary use right now, but I use my computer for other stuff as well, and I prefer Linux for all that other stuff.
