For anything I can't play, like games with anti cheat, I've found there's usually some crossplay capability, like Fortnite or smite and I just play those on consoles. It's really hard too even consider going back to Windows, I really don't want to lose that slight performance increase. I play guild wars 2 mainly at the moment and I did some testing between my Linux and Windows installs, and on Linux I get roughly 5-10fps more than on Windows when using the Zen 2 kernel and setting CPU governors to performance. I use endeavour OS as my main distro with kde plasma as the DE. I still haven't lost that feeling of wonderment having thought only using linux meant I would never play such games again. Now with the massive progress in wine, GPU drivers and proton. When Valve started releasing linux versions as part of Steam Machines I couldn't believe it. I had accepted that refusing to use windows and only linux meant that I couldn't play mainstream games and I had made my peace with that. Spending hours practicing on Warsow, just to be left in awe at bunnyhop experts. Lots of time on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. But there was a few that were really creative and amazing.

Almost all of them were absolutely awful and broken. Do you remember how there was hundreds of games from that engine, new ones each week. I'd enjoy crap games just because I appreciated the developers supporting us. When I went full linux that was all gone so I'd try to find any games I could play at all.

Monkey Island, Populous, Prince Of Persia, Age Of Empires, HL, CS and others.

Ha! I switched to linux full time just a few years earlier than you and went through the same experience.
