And don't forget GOG fucking still doesn't have a native Linux client.

Because they pretty much said "It isn't worth the effort for just a handful of nerds". They're supposedly on it now, though.

I didn't know that, I am still on Windows 10. Most of my games won't work on linux.

Most of my games won't work on linux.

Unless you have less than 10 games in your library and they're all the main multiplayer games, I highly doubt that.

Please go check out ProtonDB and check your library. Only 2 of the top 10 most popular games are "borked", 7 of the top 100, 21 in the top 1000, and 349 across the entire catalogue.

Most of the games that are borked on Linux (particularly the top 10) are because the devs specifically want it that way

Around 50+ say borked, or no rating. I have over 1000 games.

You might be surprised, unless you exclusively play multiplayer games with anti-cheat.

As the other user said, you may be surprised! I swapped to CachyOS in January and it's been rock solid. I play games like Hitman, Last Epoch, and a bunch of indie games without any issues.
