I remember trying to get wine gaming working in 2012. Oh boy was that painful and I didn't get good results. A year ago I switched to a Linux desktop. Oh boy have things come a long way. Super easy and ran perfectly, once I ditched my Nvidia card for an AMD one ;)
- Yeah I permanently switched to Linux in 2019 and even since then things have come a loooong way, let alone from the early 2010's when I began experimenting with Linux. It's sorta would to look back and see just how far things have come in 5 years.

Thank Gabe for Proton, I haven't run Windows at home for years now.
