Happy Linux player. I play mostly single player so I don’t have many issues. For anyone thinking about switching

• if your games are on steam it’s really easy to run them and most of the times you just have to install them and press play
• if a game is new you may need to switch it to a newer version of Proton while the main one gets updated. It takes 2 clicks to open the compatibility settings tab and then you can select the version
• if a game needs a custom setting to run you’ll probably read it on protondb and it takes 2 clicks to add it
• go on protondb and log with your steam account to check how many of your games are compatible, gold or platinum means it’s good
• compatibility gets better every week
• mods may be harder to install
• Linux is easy to use
• Nvidia cards works well on Linux
• yes, sometimes you may break it but you can also fix it. The official windows forum is a graveyard full of “you have to reinstall windows”
• you can try Linux without installing it (but don’t use it for gaming or stuff that need reboots because live install lose changes)
• dual boot works so you don’t need to drop windows immediately

This is my protondb compatibility tab for around 1600 games

I think most selfhosters already know/use Linux, so management issues are already known. About the ease of use, if you manage services with docker it’s really easy to bring them up/down, and if you want some GUI there’s portainer.
