I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

Was having driver issues on Windows Vista which led me to go Ubuntu. I've been on and off with Linux until recently with Steam and Proton. The work Valve has done to make Windows games work on Linux has been great, and I think it's trickled down to WINE in general too.

And then I'm on and off again since getting my new PC. Turns out liquid cooling and RGB aren't the best on Linux right now, especially with the components I'm using, so I've kinda stuck on Windows a bit. Maybe I should rev up VMware and handle those there where I can.

Yea there is plenty of bad things that can be said about Valve, but I will be forever thankful for what they did for Linux gaming (I know it is not just them and Wine was a thing for a long time, but gaming before and after Proton is like night and day).
