I was your typical on-the-fence guy for years, installing Linux a couple of times a year, hopping between distros but eventually always returned to Windows. Those days are over for good. I learned to understand packages, dependencies and the basic tools to be able to understand and execute most troubleshooting. Still on an Apple laptop but once they pull similar shit with their telemetry that’s it.
The only thing preventing me from hopping back over to Linux is trying to reinstall my games. I’ve used it on and off for a few years and I loved it, but last time I had some issues with power and thought maybe Linux was doing something wonky (ended up being a PSU issue) and then Halo Infinite dropped and I wanted to play that.
In hindsight, both reasons were bad and I should have stayed on Linux.

Gaming on Linux has improved massively, especially over the last year. You should give it another try.
