Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn't know possible.
2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.
Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.
I didn't mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.
Gaming has come a long way now in Linux with steam and proton, most games are playable. You can check out protondb to see what games don't work, but it's amazing compared to even a few years ago.
