Why not switch to Linux? There is several ones which works well with steam
Because maybe they want to play games without having to check if it runs on linux?
Thanks to the Steam Deck and proton development, these days that's pretty much limited to a few incompatible multiplayer anticheat systems. Gone are the days where a developer actually had to make a Linux build.
That's becoming way less of an issue nowadays
That's actually just what I did. New PC runs Manjaro Linux. So far all the games I've thrown at it work just fine.
Maybe I should have done that with the old PC, but I'm lazy and Windows 7 was working well enough.
