Proton has been a game changer for me: after many years on Linux only I ended up building a gaming rig a few years ago as I wanted to get back into gaming.The plan was to dual boot and only use Windows for gaming, but in practice rebooting all the time is just too much of a pain so I was using Windows almost exclusively there, with all the related frustrations. About 6 months ago I got myself a new SSD and made a fresh install of Linux with steam and Proton and I've been amazed a the performance and game support. Of course not all games work out of the box (and some not at all), but I haven't had to boot to Windows in months. And for the games I play the frame rate is at least as good as what I used to have on Windows (on a couple of games I do get occasional drops, but nothing too distracting). I play a lot of Assetto Corsa Competizione and my G27 steering wheel even worked out of the box!

In other discussion someone pointed out about passing a gpu to a windows kvm[1] and getting the output back to linux[2]. I never tried but seems really promising, might try it someday
