My life is no longer compatible with Windows.

Indeed. With the existence of Proton my last reason for keeping Windows around is gone. I'm about to switch my last computer to Linux.
I’m actually considering just blowing away Windows on my gaming media center and just replacing it with Ubuntu. Most of my games work on proton anyway, anti cheat support is coming (thanks Stram Deck) and I’m just fed up with Microsoft’s constant built-in ads and notifications nagging, constant intrusive updates if I don’t use it for a while and even just the other day my video driver was corrupt and had to do a factory reset reinstall. Tired of the nonsense.
If everything goes well, there will be finally be enough top engineers working on making Linux more fully substitute for Windows, than there have been Microsoft employees.

This is a very critical milestone.
