Converted one of my gaming PC SSDs to a Linux disk. and I’m so amazed how well it just works with proton.
When a have some time I’m going to fully convert it to Linux, with a small Windows VM for the 1-2 tools I sometimes need

Yeah dude!
I’m relatively new to Linux, so I don’t really have any experience pre-proton. But I get the feeling that there are TONS of people who haven’t tried it in years, that truly do not understand how far it has come. I’m sure they’ve heard that before, etc., but I can say that it’s 100% true this time.

yeah, proton is amazing.
I’m using linux for 17 years or so, and just kept my gaming rig as my only windows machine.
Gaming on linux was super hit or miss. Sometimes wine (at its forks) worked nicely, sometime it was unusable.
It got a LOT better when everyone started using unity and unreal, as they have native linux compatibility, but proton now closed the gap nicely
