I've been playing games such as Spelunky 2, Hades and Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Arch Linux with Steam/Proton, and it works seamlessly without any issues. I have Windows still just in case for some games, but I haven't booted it for ages.

I do not even have windows and most games i buy simply work these days. I stopped looking at the support icons completely. Exception: Bad Unity games. However these often do not work properly on windows either

Yes! But then I'm having issues with Phasmophobia where it launches the game but loses connection to steam and I can't play with friends.

I remember that I had some major problems with divinity on arch. Like I had to move around some files after every update, otherwise it wouldn't launch. Has this been fixed?

Yeah, I’ve beaten Sekiro and run through a season of F1 2018 in Linux. I’ve also played through The Outer Worlds from the Epic store in Lutris with no problems. It’s surprising that AAA games on Linux work better than ever these days even without native support.

It's crazy how well most AAA games work: Jedi: Fallen order worked out of the box, no sound issue. Mass Effect: Andromeda works flawlessly, perfect frame rate, surround sound worked perfectly. I just got one crash to desktop over the whole playthrough and I suspect it was due to something else (updated packages while running the game). Incidentally, the game is great, esp. compared to the negative review; I'm still shocked by the discrepancy. Same for Witcher 3, GTA V, No Man's Sky ... More recent games often still have issues. RDR2 is just getting playable, but it's getting fixed faster. There's also less and less annoyances: just a few months back alt-tabbing was very dodgy, now it's extremely robust. Also multi-monitor support seems to work perfectly nowadays. I had some issues with controllers but I haven't tried recently.
