Proton helped me switch to Linux full time. Before that I was always dual booting.

It's a game changer for me for sure.

    Same here. For folks hesitant to switch because of games, I was too, but it really is at the "just works" stage for 99% of games. Even some big AAA competitive online games like Marvel Rivals work on Linux.

    The irony being if Microsoft allowed Windows 11 on BIOS boards I would've upgraded before the Recall stuff happened and not thought twice. Always a silver lining I guess.
