    The only reason I still have Windows are a few games that don’t work properly on Linux (via Steam Proton) yet.

    I will keep Windows 10 until Steam no longer supports it or all my games run well on Linux (I check for that occasionally). IDGAF about no longer getting security updates as I have moved everything except for those few games to Linux years ago.

      I multibox a certain game and that is something proton simply can’t handle. It’s only designed with a single game in mind so each instance runs it’s own layer which quickly eats up resources that are never freed up.

      if I’m ever forced to upgrade my base system I guess the first thing I’ll do is try my game in a windows VM

      Windows 11 for work, 10 for the games that don’t work on manjaro.
