    I’d love to run Linux as the primary env, but without a second GPU for GPU passthrough windows is basically useless for gaming.

    So for now windows is the primary environment

      I stuck with Windows for the longest time because of gaming, but for my needs that’s no longer necessary. If it’s been a while since you tried Steam on Linux you might want to give it another try.

        I play games that are almost exclusively not Linux compatible. CoD, Destiny 2 and iRacing are all still windows only and they’re about all I play

            Anti-cheats don’t work, even if the game runs. It’s the curse of always online gaming.

              I heard that with the rising popularity of the Steam Deck, EAC is working on Linux compatibility (at least through Proton). In fact, I think it’s been available for developers to switch on right now.

              That’s kinda the Linux curse. It works for almost every use case and the use cases it works for are increasing every year. But it’s still not every use case.

              For work I can live with terrible teams for linux and prospect mail. But for my private main PC, there are just too many use cases that are important to me, that still don’t work.
