I'm a pretty prolific gamer, but at the start of the year I finally kicked Windows to the curb.

It's been fine. Surprisingly few games I'm interested in to begin with have anticheat that doesn't work on Linux, and it's comforting to know games aren't allowed to just shove trash into kernel space at will.

The thing is I still need Windows for music production.

Linux will never compete here.

If you play older games, Linux ironically works better than windows now for stability. The only game I have seen any issues with (note I don't really play multiplayer much) is the Harry Potter game, but proton eventually fixed that.
