Honest Question with a long windup: I'm not looking forward to the forced Win11 update, tried Win11 and would rather keep 10...
If I made the swap to Linux, what happens to my Steam Library? Don't many of those games need Windows to run? I have a SteamDeck and understand Valve has created their own thing to fool games into thinking their played on Windows, but that's just SteamOS for a handheld. Sorry, I know I can look up this information online, I would like to hear it from someone personally rather than some blog or website article.
It won't give you any extra performance in games, you'll be using a Windows emulator to emulate Windows games in Linux.
In the end, if you don't have enough time for troubleshooting (which will take a lot of time), it's not worth it. As others have said, "Linux is free if your time is free".
