2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

Outside of competitive shooters, which is my favorite genre to play on PC, a lot of stuff runs well through Proton. And that's an issue of the anti-cheat systems.

Linux gaming isn't for everyone, I play what I can on PC and have a PS5 for other experiences. There are plenty of games I wish I could play, but I'm not interested enough to dual boot windows. I would do vfio passthrough for a VM, if they weren't getting better at detecting that.

Ultimately I have enough games I can play to stay busy.
