I upgraded to Windows 11 on my gaming rig two days ago, and at the same time I switched the default boot option to Linux. Let's see how this pans out.

I'll still need Windows around for specific games, but the ones I usually play seem to work on Linux.

I'm curious which specific games you still need Windows for? I'm only aware of a handful (Riot games and some Chinese ones).

I can get Start Citizen running on Linux, but I want to use head tracking when I fly, and there is currently no Linux support for the Tobii eye tracker I have.

Then again, maybe Tobii adds Linux support before SC becomes playable enough for me to actually enjoy it, 🙃
