It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

    Proton helped me switch to Linux full time. Before that I was always dual booting.

    It’s a game changer for me for sure.

      Chiming in, same for me. Dual booting for over a decade. Haven’t played on Windows for probably several years now.

      @mintiefresh @cm0002 I had a bit different story. My heart wanted Apple, but my mind chose Linux. In the end, the mind won :blobcatcool:
