For a range of reasons I am probably going to just switch my primary gaming PC to linux and leave one drive to boot into windows when I need to. From a bit of googling, it looks like Warframe in Proton is relatively painless.

Are there any other worries? Looks like DE doesn’t care if players run under Linux based on checking the forums but I am not missing anything, am I?

    I run Arch (btw). What are you looking to use? If you’re comfortable with a terminal or willing to read a lot of documentation to get there (it’s all fairly approachable and well laid out) and rolling release suits your needs, I definitely recommend Arch.

    EDIT: whoops thought you were OP. recommendation still stands though

      Eh. I spend most of my day ssh’d into a linux server and have been bouncing back and forth in terms of which distro to use for personal use most of my adult life.

      There are aspects of arch I like but when I get home after a long day of work and just want to browse the internet or play some games: I’ll be a basic B and use debian/ubuntu.

      Bu thanks

        that’s totally fair, it’s not for everyone. the installation and configuration process is pretty long. however, day-to-day maintenance is very minimal if that’s what you’re worried about. i usually touch the terminal ~1x a day, just to update, and then go about internet browsing and gaming. however, if gaming is your focus, i would encourage you to check out nobara, as another commenter said. it was designed around gaming, by the same guy (gloriouseggroll) who made the custom version of wine i mentioned in my first comment. it’s fedora-based, so it shouldn’t be any harder to use than debian or ubuntu.
