I was a big user of dual boot and VFIO, but thanks to the advent of Proton and the recent Wine improvements (DXVK, ...) I've found myself rebooting into Windows for gaming less and less over the course of the last few years. Sure, not everything works, but basically everything single player does with just a few hiccups.
- dotancohen 4y agoHave you considered just not playing the games that require Windows? There are _plenty_ of really great Linux games. If not, I'd love to know why. I'm not being polemic, I'm not a gamer, but simply avoiding games that don't run on Linux seems rather easy today.
- qalmakka 4y agoI also play those, indeed, but Steam + Proton works very well for a whole lot of titles without a hitch too, so that's a bonus.

- int_19h 4y agoThere aren't that many good games released every year in general, much less for Linux specifically.
