I have many linux distros running in the house for servers and self hosted software but the one box i havent swapped yet is my daily driver system. Microsoft is pushing me ever closer but with some titles still not supporting linux and getting to the end of a day i just want to game not debug something.

Its getting close though. Fuck this timeline. I looked at Pop OS and bazzite as out of the box gaming distros but am open to anything.

Want games are holding you back. Between lutris and steam's proton compatibility I personally haven't run across much.

All of EA's new titles use Javelin anti-cheat. It uses a Windows kernel module, so it's not possible to run with Wine/Proton.

Given that EA forces users to run what is effectively a rootkit just to play their games, I feel like the only good choice is to stop playing those games altogether. Or, at the very least, compartmentalize your gaming machine and the network it's on.
