I daily drive Linux and attempt to game on it when I can.
The biggest obstacles (at least for Proton) keeping me from deleting my Windows partition:
- Online multiplayer games with anti-cheat (solved or soon to be solved by EAC + Proton integration)
- The fact that not every game "just works". I frequently run into games (most recently, Elden Ring) which don't even launch, and the error/bug reporting experience is terrible. I'm a relatively technical person, and yet even after going through the trouble to get logging set up and figure out what is even going on when the game doesn't launch, there is still often not a clear path to fixing my problem. Obviously some of this is just inherent in the combinatoric explosion of problematic cases you get from running a DX -> Vulkan compatibility shim for an OS with 100s of distros, but it's a big obstacle.
- I recently got a top of the line GPU, but before that the performance difference was occasionally enough that I would just switch to Windows for a game that otherwise worked OK on Linux.
