Main driving linux for dev for years. Kept a dualboot at home for gaming. Switch to full linux last year. It works better and better. Proton is a bless. Thanks wine and thanks valve.

But that's a bit of a fallacy, as Proton just makes it possible to start Windows-targeting games on Linux. So you're still benefiting from a Microsoft-dominated gaming industry whether you like it or not.

Which needs Windows software to keep going, as not even game studios targeting Android/NDK care about GNU/Linux.
