It sucks that you have to maintain it though. If you don't update from time to time, you'll have to update windows, steam, the game and probably thr gpu drivers as well.

I sincerely hope that Linux becomes at least mainstream enough to not have compatibility issues. It's still not something I would recommend to people that don't know how (or don't want) to troubleshoot issues. If installed linux on my mom's laptop she'd be constantly reaching out to figure out how to do/solve stuff.
