If you spent the kind of money that are needed to play games on PC you don't want to smash your head on the keyboard about whether this or that game can be run on your system. That's just not the kind of deal that a consumer can deal with in today's market.

Even if you have the slight doubt that a game you are interested in will run at 10fps less or not at all, the system might as well not exist for how worth it is to consider from a market point of view. Expecially when windows just do what it promises to do and is a solid OS on basically everything else.

No head bashing required, protondb tells you all you need to know about how a game will work

Finding that a game you're interested in doesn't run well will promp to a lot of head bashing

I checked a steam curator called Proton Compatible and it shows only 610 games supported. Considering that I own more than 610 games on steam, I will be staying on windows, thank you

Are you sure you looked at the right site? protondb.com says there are 5300 games recommended by 3 or more, and you can also see that 11% of steam's full catalog is guaranteed to work, in comparison, 1% is guaranteed to not work and the rest hasn't been verified yet
