I went with Linux Mint (Cinnamon) since I wanted a very beginner friendly experience, and I’m liking it so far!

A black labrador retriever lays in the water, holding a white shuttlecock in its mouth in a way that makes it resemble a white beak. The ‘white beaked’ black dog is surrounded by over a dozen coots, black water birds with white bills. The resemblance is uncanny

Welcome to the fold! Linux Mint is great and gaming works too if that's your thing. Windows is dead. LONG LIVE LINUX

    I ran a little test game of Balatro to make sure games ran alright, and to my surprise everything seems good! (knock on wood) I always thought installing was going to be a lot more painful, but so far the worst part was backing everything up.

    It can be hit or miss from game to game, check out protondb.com if you're ever having problems getting a game to work, sometimes there's small tweaks you need to do. Some stuff that uses anti cheat doesn't work as well, like Valorant or Fortnite. I've been gaming on Linux primarily for years though and it's never been better.

    After a few aborted attempts to switch to Linux, over the years, that has been exactly the vibe of my latest journey.

    "So this all just works now?" has been my repeated surprised thought.

    Standard disclaimer: I don't have any hardware by Nvidia. Not by choice, I was just feeling broke when Nvidia got hot.
