I can do indie grade game development on an M1 MacBook air. It's wild how tech has progressed.
But I do my day job work on a Linux mint laptop and have a windows gaming pc until such time as I can fuck that useless piece of shit software into the fucking ether where it belongs.

What game keeps you on windows?

Right now none specifically, but I haven't really done an audit. I understand it's pretty good nowadays with proton.
What I don't want is to accidentally play an unsupported game and get vac banned or something.
If stellaris, total war and a handful of others worked I could probably convince myself to look into dual booting to try it out. I imagine OBS is fine. Streamdeck works on Mac so might be ok.

Can confirm at least Stellaris works
-
Stellaris has a native linux build 🥰 Edit: all paradox games have native linux builds

Basically every game runs fine on Linux, just not those games with strict anti cheat.
-
For all I remember, VAC bans only work with Valve games, and those in turn natively support Linux

FFXI for me. It's a lot better post Steam Deck, but last time I set it up on Linux (maybe a year ago) a lot of the visual mods that are registry-based weren't working properly, the font rendering was awful, and certain addons and plugins just didn't work (guildwork in particular since it launches a background exe, others related to showing/hiding certain UI elements.) It runs, but it's far from comfortable. Might be good enough in a VM and I'll probably try again next time I resubscribe.
-
Resubscribe? Is FFXI paid by subscription?! 🤯
But yea, that game seems a bit messy for my taste as how it programmed 🤭 not experienced coder here, but what you describe sounds like it is as windows: programmed like a patchwork rug.
