There’s a reason everyone says “Just use Linux”
Everyone says to just keep it at Windows 10 or that Windows 11 is not that bad as that's the majority of people. It's a small group that says to just use Linux, and if you think it's everyone it suggests you are in an echo chamber/don't participate widely enough in various communities.
As a Windows 10 user who tried Win 11, it's super gross. I'm hoping to get my shit together enough to convert to linux this year before Microsoft forces my hand.
If Microsoft forces my hand it'll probably mean a month without gaming and I'll be a sad, sad boy.
Linux gaming is a thing. Lutris and steam are working quite well. In some games I have better performance than windows. That being said not everything is working, some games are not working at all and other games have quite some settings and fiddling until they work. Check protondb where you can see users comments and game compatibility ranking for the games you play. Sometimes I want to go back to windows, but for the last 5 months I've booted windows once or twice. There is a learning curve and getting used to Linux, but in my opinion it is worth it. If you want to transition from windows don't go with gnome. Start with kde or xfce, or cinnamon.
