Hmmm. I mainly play heroes of the storm at the moment and I've had issues getting that to work. While the steam games seem to work great I really feel like it needs some more polishing.

The work that has been done on it is stellar though. Especially considering it's the publishers not supporting Linux systems.

Everything on my steam deck works great though thanks to valve.

But my desktop... Not sure if I'm ready for that yet. :/

Hope they push so hard to a point that finally most of users adopt Linux and developers focus more in Linux

Windows 10 is the end of the line for me regardless of software compatibility.

got a book on Linux from the library this week, and I've been speaking with a friend who runs Linux full time on his system. looking to make the switch within the next few weeks; absolutely done with windows, personally.

These incessant, full-screen upgrade ads, with no way of canceling other than a small "Remind me later" tucked away in the corner, where the final straw from me switching to Linux.

When this screen recently came up, i had a mini stroke because it looked like it just updated itself... Iam really sold for linux mint, but my laptop is currently my desktop and i need functional Dockingstation use and an external gpu. Which doesn't do well on Linux :(

I would rather move to Linux at that point but I can’t do that either since some critical apps I require don’t run on it (yet)

Do they work via Wine on Linux? I have had pretty good success there.
