I recently built a gaming/data science machine, and thought I'd try and run pop_os on it's own for a bit, thinking I'd find a hiccup in a few days that would make me dual boot or something. A month later, still no windows!

Proton was the real eye opener for me. I was aware of wine and lutris, but thought they would be janky and limited. Turns out all I needed to do was enable proton and everything I thought might be doable worked immediately.

The only issue I've had at all was borderlands 3 cut scenes. That said, it was a relatively easy fix once I'd worked out where my proton install was, and apparently it was just as big an issue for Windows users 🙃
