My steam deck has taught me that I'll be completely OK running linuxn(probably arch) as my daily driver with a win 11 dual boot (maybe just a vm?) for things that simply won't work on proton.

You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It's an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.

Give Bazzite a try if you like Steam OS

I'll switch my windows drive to the LTSC IoT version, when this happens. The only reason I have dual boot is for a fallback, if some games make trouble. For example for whatever reason BG3 multiplayer freezes randomly on linux. Single player is fine though. So until I got that sorted out I can fall back to windows. But when even the LTSC support runs out, then that's it completely for me.

Yep. Dual booting LTSC and Linux here.
I need to get a bootloader working though. I've just been defaulting to Windows for a few months. But I want to spend more time on Linux.

We have all heard this song before and know how it ends.
