Im thinking to switch Linux but last time i use steam proton it's not a great experience is Steam Proton good now?

It's pretty good if you're planning on using Linux full-time, as long as you know there are some limitations.

Here's the best source for comparing the games you play with what's currently working: ProtonDB.com

That list expands every day. It's most likely not worth your while if you want to play games that use an anti-cheat - Vac's okay though - or any VR games.

Edit: I'd recommend grabbing Proton: GE. It'll make your life WAY easier.

Edit 2: Oh, and note, PC Gamepass doesn't work run on it, you'll have to use Xcloud.

How long ago did you try it and which games did you try?

In my experience it's good for most games, and for the ones it's not so good for Proton-GE[github.com] will usually get it working fine. The ones experiencing the most problems with it are people who enjoy a lot of multiplayer titles, as with some of them the anti-cheat can get in the way.
