Close to switching to a Linux distro full time. (beehaw.org)

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.

On cases like that switching to GE proton would be the way to go, easy to do you just need to click around in a program called ProtonUP-QT (easily found in the distros package manager) to install it, and then change it in the games properties

A good place to look to get help on getting games to work would be Protondb
