I've been researching wine and proton for Linux. Fuck windows! The only reason I still use it is for gaming but if wine works as advertised I'll be switching to Linux.

As someone who made the leap, I haven't booted Windows in months. Proton, Steam, and Lutris cover basically everything I play.

We're you already familiar with Linux or follow a guide? Lot of products I'm not familiar with there.

Proton is the compatibility layer to run Windows games on Steam. Lutris is an app that lets you run non-Steam games in a similar manner.

I didn't really follow a guide. I mostly started by dual booting Linux and seeing what worked.
