I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i'm done with windows.

Honestly, i'm really not that far off as-is. Steam Deck already runs most of my library, it's just the games that don't work with a controller that are a problem.

This is already true for the vast majority of games. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Yeah, I made the switch to Mint recently and have been pleasantly surprised with how much of a non-issue it is. Open steam, hit install, hit play. Game runs.

Only thing I had to do was enable a single checkbox in steam to enable Proton for Windows games: "Enable Steam Play for all titles"

A handful of games need slight nudges one way or another but overwhelmingly it just works. Way better than it was just a few years ago.
