Close to switching to a Linux distro full time. (self.operating_systems)

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.

There are definitely a few games you sacrifice going Linux-only still, mostly to anticheat support. That said, my productivity has absolutely tanked in the last couple years so you can certainly find games to play. Being a patient gamer has great synergy because by the time you get around to playing something whatever kinks there may have been are usually worked out.
