It is really fantastic. With steam almost all the games i bother playing just works. Deleted the windows partition years ago.
Just have to check the community forum how well it works before buying. Or just get a refund if it does not work.
There’s another launcher that I’m forgetting the name of that will launch Epic and GoG games. Following that proton guide should make NTFS (windows) drives usable for anything in Linux though. I can boot games downloaded from “alternate sites” if I add them to steam as “non steam games” regardless of how the drive is mounted.
I know it’s not the best, but Proton has come a long, long way. I can play D4, Monster Hunter, factorio, lots of stuff.
I’ve been testing the waters with my steam deck. There are some hiccups, but almost everything I want to play can be done with proton.

Didn’t pay thousands for top of the line ryzen and nvidia gear for “not the best” gaming situation.
Linux falls short on two major fronts, less idiot proof, less gamer friendly, and that’s Windows’ largest market shares, idiots and gamers.
If you use this guide to mount the Windows drives you can run it and Linux side by side. It works just as good as Windows these days for 90% of games. You can add games downloaded from unofficial sites to Steam as a “Non-steam game” and it works. Installing Nvidia drivers on Mint is easier than Windows, there’s a built in utility.
Do you know if that works for epic games and heroic launcher as well?
