Yeah, it's hard to overstate how good Valve Proton has gotten. I almost never bother checking compatibility anymore, most Windows games, that I try to play just work right out of the box...sometimes even better than their native Linux versions.
Granted, I don't generally play the new AAA games, so I might not be the best litmus test for this, but between Wine and Proton, I haven't had a ton of problems with compatibility. I also don't do professional video editing, or photo editing, or music editing, so it's possible I'd have different opinions if I did.
I've been running NixOS for awhile, and I'm at the "I'm annoyed this isn't the default for everything" stage for it now. I have no plans on going back if I have any choice in the matter.
