    The Win10 machine I got in 2020 will be my last Windows computer now that gaming on Linux is basically solved.

      Can you tell me how gaming on Linux is solved? It’s the only reason I use windows still.

        In my case, many of my games are purchased through Steam, which automatically handles Linux compatibility for most games. The product page of the game lists the compatible operating systems as SteamOS, Linux, or SteamPlay. You can also set up proton directly for other games, which is a fork of Wine that has really good gaming support these days.

        I wouldn’t call it a completely solved problem. It’s always possible to find games that just won’t work, but most of them do. Even most DRM works. If the DB covers the games you care about then you’re golden.
