6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? (lemmy.world)

Steam runs natively and uses proton for game compatibility, similar idea to wine but it's geared for games

It's pretty good. Most games will run, sometimes with a little jiggling to get it to work, although performance isn't quite as good (some games are particularly rough)

I'm technically dual booting, but I haven't launched Windows in almost a year, and there's only been a handful of games I passed on primarily because of support

I have a small laptop that I'm testing this stuff out on before I put together a new computer from parts I ordered before the tariffs took effect.

My top pick right now is fedora silverblue, I'm running it on my test bed/server and I've been impressed

I'm running bazzite on my main one, which is related but geared towards steam and maximizing game support, it's pretty good and closer to "just works" for any kind of gaming device, it's less polished but it's still pretty good
