I've been feeling inspired by the posts here and on /c/libre and have been switching over to a lot of FLOSS alternatives to software I use. One thing holding me back from switching to Linux is that my PC is how I play games and, as I understand it, most games aren't compatible with Linux so you either can't play them or they need software like Wine. How much of a problem is this really, since I've also heard that Linux gaming has been getting easier over the years.

    I actually made a comment against dualbooting recently but that was only a joke obviously. If the only thing that is holding someone back from Linux is gaming and they don't find WINE/Proton adequate then absolutely dualboot. I'd just suggest checking which games actually don't work well on Linux and only playing these on Windows so you boot it less.

      This wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular -- I don't think I even saw your comment. I have seen this take unironically in the past though
