A while ago (circa 2021-2022) I used to use Arch Linux as my main OS for playing games and doing everything. I (barely) had proton in Steam, but I didn't really use to play a lot of Steam games, I was really into Minecraft. Later, since Proton didn't have access for games with anticheat (which I wanted to play with my friends), I moved to the (then-recently created) Windows 11, which for some reason didn't glitch on me like it did on everyone. But I stuck to it. In order to avoid dual booting (because sharing my files is somewhat kind of annoying between Windows and Linux, because NTFS support sucks) stuck to using WSL. It's been doing great. Does anyone else do this? Or is it just me? PS: I get that proton nowadays has support for a lot of games, but still doesn't have anticheat support, but there are ways to bypass that anticheat requirement. I just don't want to have to have that work for EVERY SINGLE ANTICHEAT GAME.

When i got my new laptop i used to just have win11 + wsl, but right now i am dual booting it with arch. The experience is great - i didn't have to use windows outside of a VM for ages now, and have been considering removing it entirely. I understand your reasoning though - I do not play online games with anticheat, so I don't have the same issue. And sharing files isn't as much of an issue on the Linux side, although unfortunately WSL doesn't support mounting subpartitions of the same physical drive :( I am using a SysInternals Linux Reader in a case where i absolutely need to retrieve linux files from windows
