I wish, Main game i play is windows exclusive, and as soon as they add Linux support or November 2025 hits I'm jumping ship
Which game? Linux can run a lot of Windows games these days.
Edit: I struggle to imagine why some people have downvoted this. Since doing so doesn't help anyone at all, I encourage them to use their words instead.
Nope, not on steam. if it was I'd be long gone
Linux doesn't need Steam to play Windows games. I won't pester you to name your game if you don't want to, though.
I know, Ment it the only game not on steam, otherwise I'd have no reason to stay on windows.
AS for the game it's the buggy beautiful mess that is Star citizen, any guide I've found for Linux is borked is someway or another. Though the new Vulcan engine is supposed to make it more suitable for Linux over directx
In case you want to give it a go:

This is new, will probably check it out
You keep saying this and we keep telling you you don't need Steam to play games on Linux. You don't need Steam to use Proton. So I don't understand why you keep talking about Steam.
If it's on steam it will run.
What happens November 2025?
Negative. Some games are outright blocking Linux for whatever reason or another.
e.g.; Destiny 2

Really, wow. I didn't know that.
Yeah that's about a piece of shit publisher, absolutely no technical reason behind that decision. BattlEye even runs on Linux and provides native integration with Linux and the Windows version even runs on Proton. But Bungie execs are outright assholes who mandated a ban on Linux and Valve's Steam Deck.
Window's 10 EOL.
