Have you checked if your games are supported on ProtonDB?

Worst case scenario, you could always set up a dual boot situation if there are just one or two games you play that aren't supported. That's what I'll probably end up doing on my main rig eventually since the only game I'd really miss that's not supported is ESO.

Oh I thought I read somewhere that it's not. Well, this is good news for me!

When I have time, I'll try it just to be sure.

I don't own the Steam version, not sure if that matters.

I've been playing ESO through Lutris for a few years. It works great!

Dual boot doesn't work anymore with win11, it requires secure boot to be enabled, so the grub boot loader won't work. Idk if anyone has found a work around though.

This is patently false and misleading. Windows 11 does NOT require secure boot to be activated, given that my computer is currently working right now with it off. Dualbooting Fedora and Win11 perfectly fine, update doesn't affect GRUB at all, and it just works. Windows is already shit enough that you don't need to be spreading any false info.
