You don't really need Windows for gaming anymore unless you're playing the games that absolutely insist on kernel-level anti-cheat. Proton is extremely good on Linux these days.

Sadly, I do :( Valorant is the main one that keeps my Windows partition around, for better or worse. Also sadly still there's some performance overhead for Linux gaming today, I hope that goes away in the future (for Intel/Nvidia cards especially)

I have a 2nd nvme in that machine for bazzite

not quite there for me yet I'm afraid!

sometimes games just won't work on Linux, doom the dark ages refuses to work on Linux for me.
