      I am also newly minty fresh.

      Although up graded anyway because the games I play aren’t an Linux.

      The only downside is gaming.

      I made a portable flashdrive for Linux for anything I want to keep privet and left windows for exclusively gaming.

        Depending on the games you play, thanks to Valve with Proton and Steam Deck, most games are actually already playable on Linux. The only exception is newer multi-player online games with kernel-level anticheat. I haven’t done any gaming on Windows in years pretty much.

        Steam has a native Linux client and every game I bought on Windows runs just fine on Linux.

        All my older, non-steam games, like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” run great under Wine, using the default settings. Also, there are Linux versions of DOSBox, for older games.
