I use Windows for one thing now. To play a single game that is not available on Linux or the Mac. I don't know how much longer I will be playing that game.

- capitainenemo 2y agoWhich game? Have you checked Proton (or Wine) compatibility?
- heyoni 2y agoHas to be a competitive fps. I’m in the same camp, I boot into windows for call of duty.
- capitainenemo 2y agoI mean... call of duty is a hell of a lot of games, so no idea which one you play. Most of them are pretty old so modern hardware should easily handle it. I don't care for first-person shooters so no idea what the actual situation is there (competitive fps is ambiguous - you could mean competitive first person shooters tend to have anti-cheat that requires windows, or that you feel that frames per second is not competitive on linux). I do know that proton seems to perform very well for me in other games on the linux living room gaming system and the steam deck (Xorg for both). Valve claims in general outperforms windows for similar hardware. But I suppose it could depend on your graphics card and drivers.

- capitainenemo 2y agoAh. Gotcha. Yeah, odds are high it's got some anti-cheat/anti-copy with deep hooks into the windows kernel. Not uncommon with FPS. That makes emulation tricky.
