I do primarily play games, but it only takes one program to not work for the whole OS to be a failure for that use case.

And then over time, another program, then another program. It either all works or none of it does.

I almost forgot to mention, because I always forget, if you play games that use anti-cheat, you are almost certainly ruled out, even if the ones you play are supported, because later you might want to play something that isn't supported - and again, that's all it takes to not be suitable. https://areweanticheatyet.com/
