I tried switching multiple times as well over the years. Often kept an older computer running linux but wine was a major pain to get working with everything. Steam and Proton has been amazing. I'm running Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04LTS with a GTX1080ti and outside of it being an older gpu it all runs really well.

I was a DOS kid and understand how to move around and do a few other things but feel more comfortable with a GUI for most stuff. FreeBSD feels better to me for command line stuff for some reason but I have been using only open source operating systems for over a year.

My stepson's computer is running ChimeraOS (an immutable distro) and outside of a networking issue I had to fix by removing the profile and adding it in again it had worked perfectly. He has a RX 7600 GPU however.

It's worth making the effort and a lot easier now than it used to be. I started trying around 2005.

I was in the same boat as you a month ago, Bazzite has been great. Keep in mind it’s an immutable distro which does make it a bit more annoying to use the command line if, like me, you have no idea what you’re doing. Personally I’m looking to switch away from it soon because of that but it works great with steam and I’m using a 3060 and haven’t had issues. Just make sure to choose the iso file for nvidia drivers to make easier to set up at the start.
