I've used Linux at home for 2-3 years now. Most of my games library works fine or is tolerable with certain issues, e.g. Terraria I run in windowed mode 1080p, because full-screen mode is weirdly cropped where the mouse can move to. Besides that, I've considered dual-booting just to play the few remaining games with friends that keep pressuring me to join them and "just get Windows". Its very tempting, but I first need to buy a larger SSD to do it. (My Small FF case doesn't have room for 2.5" Drives.)

Does Steam fix the Terraria issues? When I used to play video games, I never noticed that it acted weird on Linux (even in Wayland or with a tiling window manager).
Terraria's full screen and high res screen support was only broken by the most recent major patch 1.4 which released 1.5 months ago. It worked perfectly prior.

You can run the windows version with proton via steam but you need to use proton tricks to install dotnet into the proton environment and it's worse than the native 1.3 (annoying flickering if the cursor leaves the window for example)
