#2I was totally blown away by how good Proton is in the post Steam Deck world. I now play Steam games on my Linux laptop almost daily because they “just work” even when the only listed supported platform is Windows

That's awesome. How does proton treat anti-cheat software or DRM?

I’ll dissent.
After hearing people be ecstatic, I thought I’d go full-in on Linux gaming. I have a pretty bog-standard gaming PC that is very Linux-compatible (Intel i5 + Radeon 6800XT) and on there Apex Legends has horrid frame pacing issues, Mirror’s Edge doesn’t work with wireless Xbox controllers. You lose out on a lot of GPU suite features that Windows has. Gnome doesn’t support VRR. Etc etc.
There’s so many small issues it’s held me back from deleting my Windows partition. Maybe in a year or two?
That said, these things work flawlessly on the Deck.

Works if the developer enables it.
For example: Halo Infinite works fine, but Destiny and Call of Duty don't.

Those games with anti-cheats are anti-player garbage anyway. You don't lose much without them.

Yep. DRM’d online stuff and VR mainstays (Beat Saber, primarily) are the two sets of games that are keeping me tethered to Windows at the moment. VR games can be played via a Windows VM with GPU passthrough but for DRM’d online games you don’t really have any other option, at least if you don’t want to get banned.

I'm doing the same. Playing games I bought 10 years ago for the first time.

A computer should serve its user. If the user is serving his computer, they're Linuxing right but otherwise doing it wrong.
