I prefer SteamOS although I have tried installing Windows 11 on an SD card for the sole purpose of playing Genshin Impact on it but that didn't quite work out since the SD card I bought for that was too small to fit Genshin Impact beside Windows 11 on it. (128GB) But just installing Windows 11 went pretty smoothly.
Search for "An anime game launcher" you might be surprised at what you find.
I know about it but I don't want to risk a ban.
Unless something has change a ban is very unlikely - I used to use it all the time over the course of a year or two.
In any case you could always create a new account under a different email address to play. If you don't get banned in a year, you're probably fine.
Also people usually report if they get banned, and the Devs do what they can to trace it. I vaguely remember that the last time.i looked there was a note of "no reported bans in over a year"
It's still too risky for me. Unlikely doesn't mean impossible and I'd rather not deal with that stress.
