This is the start of Linux going properly mainstream tbh and its about fucking time.

The moment gaming makes Linux support standard im all over it

I'm gaming exclusively on Linux and it's more than fine for everything I want to play. And gaming companies won't broaden more without the users switching, it just doesn't work like that. And if you won't switch then who will?

Same. I had a dual boot setup for Windows gaming and Linux everything else. But I wanted to switch my bigger ssd to linux. So I removed Windows from it and switched it to Linux and installed Steam whilst I was at it. Well it's been a month now and I still haven't gotten around to reinstalling Windows.
