So far, pretty much the only things I know I'll need to use Windows for are PUBG and VR games. I don't think it's as effective as Nvidia Broadcast, but still pretty damn good. After much googling, and figuring out I had to remove pulseaudio, I got EasyEffects' Noise reduction working, and it's pretty effective. That isn't available on Linux, but there's some other options that get somewhat close. I have Discord and one thing in particular I liked having on my Windows was the noise reduction in Nvidia Broadcast. I tried Arma 3 briefly on it and that works perfectly (it does on Steam Deck too). It does take a second to build Vulkan shaders, but beyond that it's exactly the same as on Windows. I have played Dota 2 exclusive from my Manjaro installation for the last few days and it runs flawlessly. This Linux experiment is going well so far. Anything that does any real work will be my server or one of the raspberry pi units I have in my closet. In the future if I buy a laptop, I'm going to go for a frame.work one, and I'm going to aim for a system with an immutable root partition that relies on flatpak for most functionality. I would have been playing Wonderlands on a Linux box, but my old desktop became a storage server upgrade, and my laptop is anemic for games, but in all honesty, once I have a steam deck in place, that's going to replace my very nice (but anemic) System76 laptop.
The pandemic for me has been Hades, Hollow Knight, Borderlands replays (on Switch), and now Wonderlands on XBOX. Usually it's one at a time, and that changes every few months. That I could get some single-player big budget games running without much in the way of issues was huge, and I haven't run windows since. I was going to go all-in on it as a desktop. Pop os was good enough for everyday use, and I could get windows games to run. Truly though, it was the release of Proton that made me give it another go where it stuck. I've been using Linux since 1994 or so, but on and off, and constantly since 2010 as a professional.
