Which Linux distro are you using? I'm also considering switching because of Windows 10 going EOL, but there are a lot to choose from.

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I've had 0 issues with any games or programs that don't just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn't entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot

Thanks for the tip!

I went with Pop! OS because it was recommended as being good for gaming and it has out of the box support for Nvidia Graphics cards, which is what I have.

It just worked, no fuss and a quick check on my personal Linux management and gaming on Linux notes folder shows no actual notes for my Pop! OS desktop system (for the games in it I do have a couple of notes, but no for the OS), which means I've had zero problems with the actual system so far (I write the notes down if I get a problem I need to figure out how to fix, just in case I get the same problem again and have to fix it again).

Mind you I haven't mucked about with things like replacing my windows manager or using Wayland instead of X-windows since I don't see the point in changing what's not broken and works fine in a system which is supposed to be for relaxing, not experimentation.
