Up until very recently gaming is the only thing keeping my l and millions of others main pc from being Linux or Mac. I dual booted in the past but was annoyed. With all the work steam has put in I’m personally about 6 months out from just dumping Microsoft on all my personal products.
It’s impressive they have dropped the ball so hard that it’s causing a complete rethink for so many users like myself. Bullet >> golden goose.
I also stuck with them for a long time because of Windows until Proton became good enough for most games.
I caught myself just recently saying that I only keep my Linux box around to play games. Steam is more painless on Linux now than on Windows.
