Better UX until you have to download or update a game… there is an open bug report where it just doesn't progress but keeps starting new processes until you‘re OOM. Still no fix in months, I've had to boot into Windows for every single update. Really not that good of an UX.

Are you updating Linux games from Windows??

How does your Windows install open the ext4/btrfs file system your Linux games are stored on?
