Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

I probably will be giving Linux a shot this year, at the very least attempt a dual boot.

I have used linux for about two years for gaming and it works for well most games but there is always a game that doesn't work right too, not to dissuade you from giving it a try. Just want to tell you my experience. I'd say 95% of games I've tried work in a basic sense. But sometimes a certain game just runs like crap or I have to fiddle getting a game to work with using lutris . Some games just can't work because of anti-cheat services. Etc... I've tried various OS and really enjoy POP_OS as well as good ole fedora. So, dual boot is recommended if you can do it. Ultimately, I've sadly moved back to windows just because I got tired of always having to troubleshoot stuff to the point of not wanting my computer to be a hobby. I love linux and want it to be my only OS but for me its just not quite there for no fuss gaming setup. I'm a parent and dont want my fleeting moments of free time to be troubleshooting while something isn't working.

I choose the games i buy based on the protondb ranking. Most unsupported games are those with kernel level anti cheat which i wouldn install on any system anyway. My bazzite gaming PC is absolutly hassle free, for my masochism i have Arch on my Notebook :D
