I was still able to play the majority of what I wanted, but brand new titles often required patches after release, or some games would crash on occasion.&lt;p&gt;Now? I haven&amp;#x27;t even thought about compatibility in months. I don&amp;#x27;t even look at the user tweaks anymore, when it used to be a constant factor. Granted, I don&amp;#x27;t play multiplayer games with anticheat, which last I heard was still a lingering issue. Your mileage may vary, but I completely removed my Windows partition a while ago, and haven&amp;#x27;t even thought about since.</text><parent_chain><item><author>VHRanger</author><text>The only lockin I have remaining to windows is video games really</text></item><item><author>rjh29</author><text>Yeah you sound like someone who should not be using Windows in any way shape or form.

You can do it on your laptop with Proton. It&amp;#x27;s amazing. Even weird stuff like Mass Effect Remastered (which requires EA Play client) works on Linux now.</text><parent_chain><item><author>VHRanger</author><text>The only lockin I have remaining to windows is video games really</text></item><item><author>rjh29</author><text>Yeah you sound like someone who should not be using Windows in any way shape or form.
