... and it's much, much better than I anticipated. Proton has solved so many things. I've been dual booting on a smaller partition so far, but this has convinced me to wipe the whole disk and use it for Linux only. I might still keep a dual boot in case there is some edge case, but nothing so far has been an issue. I've been running Pop_Os! which I also have on my laptop since some year back. Previously I've also always had Arch on my laptop, but always stuck with Windows for my desktop just because of gaming issues.

I've been running Pop!_OS for a few years now on my laptop and about a year on my gaming PC. I've been very happy with it. Even microsoft Flight Simulator works perfectly. I've built a win 10 VM in virtual box for the few pieces of software I can't get going on Linux (old garmin GPS software and some ham radio programming software).
Awesome. Sounds like you made the same journey. Right now it feels like I might ditch the dual boot too in a near future.
