I like Linux and used it as my only OS for a decade but I play games and have to use MS Office. But thanks
Proton for gaming on Linux has come a long way. You still cannot get to 100% parity with all games and programs, and if you absolutely need something that isn't supported on Linux, you are out of luck, but chances are that most people would actually be able to use everything they need. I understand there's also the learning curve and not everyone has time or inclination, but for those that do, in 2023 it's absolutely worth a try.
I don't think the Fanatec drivers and or driving profile software would work, so I haven't even bothered.
Games themselves would mostly work, given my experience with the steam deck. But I have a lot of gog games and I know that's a hassle on it
I find it a bit ironic that the thing that made it easier to ditch windows completely was o365 web apps, they're actually decent if you have to use them. Thanks microsoft.
I think the just use linux voices are getting louder because every day more things just work out of the box, it may not quite be there for everyone yet but it's getting better every day.
