Honestly you will have far less issues on Linux in general. It is easier to install, won’t nag you for rent, it won’t change you default preferences or force apps as system and most of all won’t data mine your data and spy on you under the guise of telemetry. In saying that, it is with the possible exception of some games take a little bit to get up and running but most on steam are very easy and you will be quite surprised at how many run on Linux.

I use VR a lot and play a couple of games that use that dumbass anticheat thing so it's really not an option for me right now. I've been toying with the idea of slapping it on my old laptop that's basically a streaming machine at this point, but I'm tired and old lol
