Oh and I am not a fan of Microsoft either. It is only because Linux isn't completely there with gaming that I still use MS at all.
Though it is getting damn close, and I am hopeful that soon it will be close enough that I feel the time to completely ditch Windows has arrived.
I also use Linux day in and day out at work and have for years. Almost everything I work with at my job is on Linux servers. Though it is 99.99% command line with no GUI.
I am watching FEX-EMU, Proton, and other projects and seeing how far they are coming and that is why I am hopeful that soon the need for Windows for serious gaming will be gone.
