Gaming is and will always be the reason for majority of people. There was some incredible progress, but if I can't play everything I own on Linux, I won't switch. This comes from a guy who loves his Steam Deck.

    For me, gaming was a requirement, but I had enough of Windows and switched to Bazzite (Gaming centric preloaded Fedora Linux).

    It's really only kernel level anti-cheat games (Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow 6, etc.) that are incompatible now. If you're a co-op or single player gamer, I haven't had an issue.

    Of the current 1000 top played games, 90% are playable ProtonDB. Steam's playable rating is overly cautious in it's assessment.

    Proton db is straight up unreliable. Plenty of "compatible" games still require huge amounts of tinkering.

    The latest fully compatible game for me PoE2 is missing 4k for me, missing HDR, vrr, and a bunch of other shit.

    PoE2

    Path of exile 2 just works though? It even has a vulkan renderer.

    missing HDR, vrr

    That depends on the compositor you're using, support is still relatively new but it works just fine on GNOME and KDE.

    I have faith that proton development will continue to rectify these shortfalls. Windows has had dominance for decades allowing game devs and tools to work to Microsoft. Windows games used to require tinkering as well back in the beginning before and shortly after Direct X.

    The ProtonDB compatible tier system helps form an assessment of any capabilities that aren't working. I would agree that running at 1080p is compatible for me. For me, those features are not show stoppers and potentially game specific. RE:Village has HDR support for example. And with the database comes a community effort to fix common issues. Example with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the NVIDIA employee providing the command line argument to solve a driver issue.

    Ultimately, proton has enabled me to drop Windows and for that I'm thankful.

    Also specific proprietary software people need to use for work. If you’re a design freelancer that cannot properly edit photoshop or illustrator files, customers are likely to go with another freelancer. That’s why many people dual boot for when they have to keep windows around, but this allows them to keep the evil side of their computer at least a little less evil.
