Hell I switched to Linux specifically because I refused to get W11. I do have to agree with you though, the average gamer probably won't switch to Linux unfortunately.

This is exactly how it's going for me. I've been simply too lazy to move everything, test it all, and probably do it all over a couple times to find the distro I actually like.

They most certainly will not switch (or switch and not decide to go back after a few weeks) with the timing of the release of Battlefield 6, which requires Windows. It's an EA game, so I'm not touching that, but they're doing a lot of marketing and it's working.
