As a Linux Uber-amateur, it feels like we’re basically able to do anything I would want to do on Linux now… the thing where Microsoft tries to not allow you to download stuff because they haven’t paid Microsoft to sign it has always annoyed me. This would be the next level of nope.
One thing that’s kept me on the fence is I like multiplayer games, and I had always heard that battle eye didn’t work on Linux, but with all the proton development and steam deck interest, perhaps this is becoming a non issue?
Can you run any game you want on Linux yet? That's always been the main thing for me. I like my games, and I have a lot of them from new to going back to '85
If you use Steam like most people, check out protondb. It's not perfect as it only really shows off Steam games, but it's a good start. Steam will also let you add a non-steam game to your library and Proton will attempt to work with it, and in general it seems pretty good. The only issue you'll have is when you get to your super old games as the layer that Proton/Wine uses may not work, but for those you might as well just grab a VM and put a version of Windows on it that the game was built for.
