Looks like the push I'll need to finally move all my gaming over to a Linux box.

Been using Ubuntu for gaming for 99% of the time for half a year now. Basically no issues, most of my steam library works out of the box with proton. It's very doable now, no need to wait.

Mint was always my go to; feels just enough like the best parts of Windows to be immediately comfortable. Didn't have any problems until I switched to bleeding edge hardware; since then, I've been on Garuda, which had also been fine but more fiddly.
