To anyone who hasnt: do it! I did it a year ago and the only things you cant do are games with kernel level anticheat, but pretty much any of those games arent worth playing in my opinion anyways.
I tried with two different GPUs (Nvidia and AMD), and 6 different distros (including gaming specific ones), and my experience was garbage. Everything was super laggy, including steam itself.
Eventually I gave up and reinstalled windows.
And I’m not a windows fan boy. That install is the only non-linux system I run apart from my work PC (which I just use to remote into Linux).
What’s really annoying is getting this error when you’re already on the latest version in the windows preview program.
Thank goodness for steam. I just do my controller config in there now.
(Side note. Buying a steam deck finally pushed me over the edge to try to do all my gaming on Linux. So far so good.)

I wish Steam would let me filter games with rootkits so I don’t even see them.
