For me, it’s simple, it’s gaming. As soon as I can run competitive online games on Linux, I’ll switch fully. Meanwhile, my non gaming computer runs Linux, but my gaming rig runs Windows.
Same. I have a gaming PC with Windows 11 only use it for gaming. Everything else, I do it on my laptop.
Nowadays games that don’t run are rare but they still exist. One of my favorite games, BF1, sadly stopped working on Linux after they introduced anti cheat (on the other hand, at least now there are no cheaters spamming artillery)
I also have a meta quest and the best software to link the headset to the PC, Virtual Desktop, sadly also doesn’t work on linux
On ProtonDB some people say they have it running with no issues. But there’s just as many saying they can either only run it with shit performance or can’t connect to servers / play online.
Squad works fine for me on Linux. Performance is no worse than it is on windows. I need to add a caveat that I haven’t tried the new UE 5 builđs of the game yet, so I can’t comment in that.
Same. They’re not gonna get much out of my gaming setup either since it’s a debloated Windows 10 with everything disabled that I don’t strictly need and I’m not logged into anything except the game launchers I use.

At least for VR stuff, I find Linux to work pretty well with ALVR Streamer, which is basically an open source version of Virtual Desktop.
For anticheat, there are if course no real good solutions yet, for that, we just need better market share to pressure game developers.
Enjoy getting fucked by the corporate rootkits. I hope your gaming PC is just for gaming.
What ones specifically? I don’t bother with them these days, I’m mildly curious because I’m lucky enough to haven’t really found anything I can’t run.
Squad.

I haven’t played it in the last year or so, but it was working quite fine under EndeavourOS without any tinkering. Maybe it’s a distro thing.
Yeah seems like a mixed bag, disappointing.

I didn’t strictly need the firewall, I disabled it and then Windows update stopped working. I hate Windows so much
