With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A large portion of my Steam library is compatible, but anytime I have done an install I end up giving in and going back to Windows for games.
Only thing keeping me from Linux full time is music production. Just not their yet unfortunately. Until I can run ableton and plug-ins natively it’s a no go. That being said gaming is great thanks to Valve at this point.
A long, long time ago I ran Linux full-time on my desktop. Then I got into graphic design very seriously (early '00s) and went full Mac. I was full Mac for years and years, until a handful of years ago when I started to get more into photography and I wanted a fast Photoshop computer that didn’t cost $5,000, so I went PC.
The photography world is similar to music and video production; there just aren’t Linux alternatives that are mature enough. Lightroom is still the best catalog system. CaptureOne might be a better RAW processor, but that’s OK, neither have Linux ports anyway!
I am on my Steam Deck all the time, and it’s amazing to me how well games run on its Linux-based OS, but on the desktop I need one of the two commercial operating systems, there’s just no getting around it.
I’m 100% in your situation, and its funny how the Steam Deck has made me start neglecting my gaming pc lol. It’s just so much better in bed or on a couch.
