So honestly, which percentage of your game collection runs on Linux? Because I've looked into doing this just a few months ago, and unless the industry had some kind of mass exodus, less than 10% of my games run on Linux, and that's a generous estimate.

Not defending Windows or anything, this is just my experience.

What kind of games do you play? Unless a game has anticheat, it is pretty much guaranteed to run on Linux.

Among my favorites with anti cheat are Insurgency: Sandstorm and Hunt: Showdown. I will reluctantly play Fortnite if friends insist!

Fortnite does not work on Linux.
