Yet still people will find reason to complain.
80% of my catalog is platinum and gold, 20% I probably wasn't going to play anyways.

I mean if someone is addicted to only playing one really specific MMO or MOBA and it's not available on Linux I kinda get it. But if you're the sort of person who enjoys lots of games, not just one, then there's really no excuse at this point for sticking with Windows
With the recent crowdstrike nonsense and Microsoft reviewing their kernel access policies, it may be a non-issue in the future, but we just have to see what happens. I do wish valve would start really pushing these companies with kernel anticheat solutions to support proton and steam deck. It's like they pushed for the first 6 months of the steam deck's life and then gave up. They are really on the cusp of something truly disruptive in the pc gaming space with the steam deck, getting those last few games like cod, fortnite and valorant would really push that momentum away from Windows. Maybe they simply don't want to pick a fight with the 1000lbs gorilla that is Microsoft, only gaben knows.

I don't know about other MMOs but Final Fantasy XIV runs incredibly well on the Steam Deck under Steam OS. It's my current addiction but for this, at the moment there is no reason for me to go through Windows, and I like it this way.
i always wonder if you include the older titles that just don't work anymore on modern windows but work fine on proton. i wonder what a windows user library percentage wouldn't be. I knows it would not be 100%. It seems they always forget those when windows users complain about Linux/proton compatability.
That actually came up in some of the early ROG Ally reviews. Some reviewers found that old steam games wouldn't run on it, but they would run on the steam deck.
Shit, I better get cracking.
My gaming with WoW Classic is regularly crashing. OK, it's not a Verified game. My gaming with Cyberpunk 2077 in desktop mode still has the audio cracking problem.
But it's still the best electronic device I have ever bought.
