 Linux gaming is getting pretty decent. Can’t imagine installing windows to play a game these days. 
 Proton makes me hopeful for the future of Linux gaming. 
 Under what setup, I tried some triple a games like Assassin Cred Odyssey and Hogwarts Legacy and the performance was a lot slower on PopOs 
 depends on the game, sometimes games are faster on linux even when emulating d3d. Pretty crazy. 
 Games I’ve played on linux recently that work great and have amazing performance on my RX5700:

Overwatch 2
Red dead redemption 2
BG3
No mans sky 
 Too many games don't work, it's worth it!

Plus get to keep those sweet cuda cores for AI stuff on Linux, no need to radeon 
 I'll play a game once or twice a year nowadays but mostly curious how you can match windows performance for just that use case  
 I uninstalled windows to get more space for games on linux, but mostly out of spite. Sometimes games dont work, so I shake my fist and move on.
