I'm mildly curious what games you are hitting snags with? I am still a console user, but the Steam Deck has been amazing at how well it does.

The only games that I still need Windows for are racing sim games. Wheel support in other operating systems isn't very good / doesn't exist.

Most of the games using anti cheat systems. It even affects Windows VMs with GPU passthrough.

For me, it was Nioh. It would crash when using certain abilities, and cutscenes would just not work. It looks like it's still an issue for some people: https://www.protondb.com/app/485510

I use Windows 10 LTSC now for my gaming PC.

Tarkov (though I don't play anymore).

This is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, as well. It's not even that the developer is hostile to it, they're just tied up trying to hold the rest of the game together with glue and toothpicks and haven't taken the time to figure to figure out how to get their (not terribly effective) Battleye plug-ins to work.

Fortnite won’t work due to Epic’s anti cheat.
