There is now enough games available that if it doesn't run on Linux, I just don't play it. Thanks Steam!

I have 3 Linux based PC gaming rigs. The challenge I face in my family is that my kids want to play what other kids play, and that means Fortnite and FIFA primarily, both of which can't run under Proton and their respective publishers are to blame for intentionally not supporting the platform because it doesn't make business sense to them (cost of support vs. quantity of users).

I will hold the door as long as I can, but if this doesn't change, my kids will eventually ask me for a Switch or a PS5. I guess I'll take my shot at dual boot then.

I caved and got an A11y on sale. I explained why I think those games are trash, but at the end of the day I caved to peer pressure that wasn't even directed at me. On the plus side, we can play stuff together in the same room now.
