Well Raytracing doesn't work in Cyberpunk 2077. Besides that, some other games also have terrible performance. Even Minecraft, that's running natively. Constant stutters with low GPU utilization.

I suspect you have GPU driver issues. What distro and graphics card are you running? Have you installed GPU drivers if your on Nvidia.

Logitech keyboard works but I cannot configure it because the software is not supported on Linux

You just install solaar instead of the official software, one and done. Have you even tried?

Xbox controller does not connect with the dongle unless I install the xone drivers

So install it then.

Sure you can fix any of these problems above like running Windows software with Wine or installing the appropriet drivers. But I don't want to do that if I can just use Windows with no extra work.

None of this is extra work compared to working around Microsoft and Windows trying to push their garbage. Two Windows 11 systems breaking is what led to me switching back to Linux for the last time. Having to reinstall because of Windows issues is a lot more effort than installing a couple things.
