    I switched to Windows for gaming this year. With advances in Wine/Proton it was super easy; there’s nothing I play that isn’t perfectly convertible to Linux anymore.

    Even using an Nvidia card in my desktop seems fine.

        They probably meant “Switched from windows” or “switched to windows version of the games they play”.

        You switched to Windows?

        Maybe installing Windows versions of games instead of native Linux versions?

          Only game I had to do that was for Tabletop Simulator due to a memory leak in the Linux release due to my colossal amount of subscribed Workshop items. But other than that, if there is a Linux release then that’s my go to one!

            May I introduce you to crap like Alien Isolation where the porting companies went all-in on Nvidia-exclusive features and the version with higher compatibility is indeed the Windows release.

      The only thing holding me back is VR, I have a Quest 2 and the PC drivers are only for Windows.
