My main gripe with linux is still game and other software support.

Other than that everything I can think of is so much better than windows for me.

    90% of games run on Linux. If you are talking about League and Roblox u are better off not being able to run them. It saves your soul lol.

    My experience with older Windows games, as well, has been that they just work with Proton (often when people trying to run it on Windows need to download an obscure dll from a stranger's google drive just to get it to launch).

    I'm kinda annoyed by people who just put down my personal opinion about the state of gaming on Linux or anything by using their own experience.

    I agree most of my games run fine on Linux, but I would like to try out valorant but it doesn't work. The force feedback for the steering wheel I use with beamng requires a lot of extra setup which I haven't gotten around to (on windows it just works). I don't play many games but these are just some of my experiences.
