"I really would like to switch to Linux, bUT muH gaMEz!"
Like, just get a console or a Steam deck and tell MS to piss off. Until their market share plummets noticeably, they're going to continue this crap.
I used Linux for a long time, like years, as my main os since I was a teenager. (I broadly say Linux because I hopped distro a lot). but ultimately, I hardly even used it by the end because during my creative bursts, I would be using windows exclusive software that was just better than any Foss. then, I would want to play some multiplayer games with my friends, where the anti cheat only worked on windows. this totaled to like 75 percent of my time being used on windows in the end, so I just sucked up to the reality of the situation and hardened windows for privacy and debloating and switched back after so long. if it weren't for those 2 specific things, I would have probably kept mint as a daily driver forever, it was really stable and nothing else was an issue for me. but the fact is that I (and presumably many other people) don't want to give up things we enjoy and spend more time bleak and bored just to prove a point to some company that doesn't know we exist. I'm sure for a lot of people though, daily driving Linux would be fine for things like YouTube or online shopping or whatevsies.
