I'm in the process of swapping over now. Certainly some speed bumps after many years of Windows, but it's been kind of fun.

There are a few games I've hit that I can't play, but that why I'm dual booting for the near future. Linux as the daily driver and then back to windows when I have to.

Yeah a lot of games with really strong anti-piracy just don't work at all. I was shocked that Roblox was one of the few ones that just wouldn't make the jump, for example, Grapejuice notwithstanding.

Pro tip: You don’t have to deal with anti piracy if you pirate it.

Except Roblox is currently working on providing unofficial support to Wine (and by extension Roblox). See the post from one of their employee: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/why-did-roblox-stop-supporting-linux-users (Need to be logged in)
