I'm similar, I have my gaming desktop running Win10, and my old gaming desktop which migrated from Win7 to Win10 acting as a media center PC. Everything else is using Linux, either Debian or Proxmox. When Win10 hits end of life, the media center PC is an easy upgrade to Debian, but proton only supports ~70% of the games I'd like to play well, so I either need to keep a Windows machine around, or do virtualization + hardware passthrough, both of which are a pain.

With the direction Windows is going, I don't think I'll really even want a VM in 2030.

Gaming is literally the only thing keeping me chained to windows. As you said 70% is not 100% and I play a lot of random games. It's not enough to play some of what I want just to avoid Microsuck even though I reallllllly want to...
