I just play games on my home computer so windows 11 is whatever to me. I'm in IT...I use Linux, Mac, windows daily..I don't feel like fiddling to get certain programs to work on Linux or Mac with the limited time I have at home..just wanna game and shut the PC off.

Steam is almost flawless on Linux, and I've rarely seen a game that doesn't work out of the box (just remember to press "enable proton for all titles" the first time you install steam).

I've never had to do any tinkering with Linux Mint, and I've heard the same about Bazzite.

Linux has come a long way in the last few years. You might be pleasantly surprised.
