No. Stop.
This is the definition of interrupting your enemy when they're making a mistake.
Let them kill windows 10, I have atleast 5 friends ready to switch to linux when Windows 10 hits EOL.
As a gamer, proton/lutris still isn't quite to the point that I am ready to make the jump. It's very close though and I'm going to make the switch probably in the next 24 months.
Typically, imo, most people who aren't ready to jump to Linux are there because their top couple of games are ruled by arrogant devs/publishers who balk at the idea of ticking an "enable proton compatibility" checkbox with their anticheat.
From what I've seen Proton has hit a quality of compatibility that the games will just run, and typically better than Windows. If it doesn't run it's usually because it's too new and proton needs a patch, or the devs/publishers did the aforementioned "no, i won't tick the checkbox, it's too hard." bullshit.
Basically, if your waiting on a game to be supported for proton, it may need to wait until Linux adoption hits around 20 percent before the devs/publishers get that bullshit idea out of their head.
Isn't proton mainly a steam thing?
Because honestly, the reason I'm not jumping to linux, is all the heavily modded GOG stuff and nexus mod manager.
That and bad experiences in the past.
If you get the heroic launcher, you can install proton or proton GE and use them on Epic Games or GOG games. I'm pretty sure there is a way of doing it without a launcher but it is less user friendly. I also prefer Heroic to Lutris.
