Just curious if anyone else here primarily games on Linux? Steam Deck counts!

I primarily play games on Linux (on desktop, not steam deck). I've been doing so for about 6 years or so. Steam + Proton and other gaming-focused wine builds have made gaming on Linux far better than I could have ever imagined. The only thing that keeps me on Windows is primarily work related stuff. I work in game development (specifically VR), where Windows is pretty much a necessity :').

My work is all windows too. I work in Finance so Linux unfortunately won't work. But at home I'm all Linux!

Built a new desktop a while back, and i decided to go Linux first for this one. Haven't gamed a ton, but everything I've tried just worked without issues (steam/proton). I'ml pretty happy with it!

I still have a Windows partition, but i only use that for Battletech with mods and anything i can't run on Linux. Haven't booted into that one in weeks...
