The single game I "played" on Windows was Helldivers 2, when I Steam Family'd it from a friend before trying it out through Proton.

I can't remember the last time I played a game on Windows. Four or five years, maybe.
20 year club checking in. Let's ~~go~~ keep going!
7 years for me. That's how long ago I built my current PC, which has never had Windows on it.
@grue @TheDemonBuer what distro do you guys have?
Kubuntu, because at the time that was the only
apt-based distro that both Steam and the proprietary AMD graphics drivers officially supported. (I had to use proprietary drivers because I bought a Vega 56 on release day and open-source ones weren't immediately available.)I can remember!
The SATA SSD with Windows died in 2016.
Last time I had Windows was in 2011, yet this year and the last through some random fate I've had some Windows on my charts, this year it was work related, last year it was my wife's PC plugged to the TV for playing some couch games that were running sluggish on the deck.
