With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A large portion of my Steam library is compatible, but anytime I have done an install I end up giving in and going back to Windows for games.

    I have looked into this myself recently. Still a few blockers for me, one of the big ones being VR. The Steam Deck and its OS have really pushed gaming forward on Linux though.

      SteamDeck has been great for Linux gaming. I’ve ordered a ROG Ally, and I really hope that Steam will officially open up their latest SteamOS version for other device makers. Considering that’s how SteamOS was originally released (a desktop gaming OS for pc based consoles), I’m surprised they’re not still operating like that
