Proton covers most games that I play, only a couple exceptions involving heavy handed anti-cheat stuff like League of Legends has now. For non-gaming Windows stuff that doesn’t work in Linux I would guess that a virtual machine might work.

My excuse for not switching to Linux for a long time was that it couldn’t play games. Now that proton is a pretty developed thing, that’s no longer an excuse. I actually tried out mint Linux for a friend to see how easy it was to use and I just kept using it because it did everything I wanted it to. As a power user I had to modify it quite a lot but my friend just wants to basically load into the OS, launch a browser or play games from steam and that’s about it, so for him it’s pretty easy and straightforward.
I actually ended up installing kubuntu on his computer and modified it to look exactly like Windows 7, which is what he’s upgrading from. It’s kind of scary how close it got.


Even if it’s flipped the layout doesn’t make any sense, and there’s only three rows. But yeah probably just an artist drawing a representation of a keyboard and not directly copying one.
