I'm not going to update. I'm going to become a Linux guy. It's going to be difficult but, I think, worth it. I wonder if I'll still be able to play Trackmania....

Hopefully I'm not being wooshed.
Don't delay, become a Linux guy today.
Trackmania is gold on ProtonDB. With a few exceptions, the only games I haven't been able to play on Linux have been the ones with overly invasive anti cheat. I don't miss them. (I have very rarely had trouble with launchers as well, but usually there are ways around them.) It's genuinely very easy most of the time.
I'm not an expert, but if you have questions or troubles switching to Linux, feel free to ask me. If you'd prefer not to, there are a few very welcoming Linux gaming communities as well. I look forward to seeing how happy you are after switching!

Switching to Linux Mint was pretty painless other than some poor luck hiccups during the first time setup. No problems since.
You can check protondb to see if games run nice on linux https://www.protondb.com/app/2225070 - Trackmania is rated gold, so it'll probably just work
I've played thousands of hours of TM in Linux back to the TMNF days, works great. Honestly Uplay causes more problems than TM itself.

I think you'll be alright.

I used to play Trackmania on Ubuntu back in 2013. I hope they didn't fuck it up.
