Sadly, there are a few programs I can't run on Linux but I use it daily, no windows
What programs?
fair enough, nobody is forcing you to switch, but Inkscape is there, and i am pretty sure there is a replacement program for on-the-fly recording (never looked into it, i don't really play games like that)
I tried Xubuntu years ago because my PC was shit then kinda abandoned it, got tired of windows and installed Linux. After a big update, Linux broke and trying to reinstall it I... Picked the wrong partition and deleted windows lol
Inkscape is nice but in used to Affinity Designer and kinda love it. For Adrenaline I'm sure it exists but steam built-in feature is enough.
I love my Linux and fuck Micro$oft
I want to add here my deeply missed Playnite. There is nothing under Linux that comes close. I've settled for the combination of steam, heroic and lutris, but that is not even close for sure.
It doesn't support steam but what about Heroic Launcher
While I don't know all the details, and as far as I know there has been no official statement that it will support Linux, the current rewrite of the codebase that is going on will at least allow much easier compatability with Linux. So there's hope :)
Most mainline Linux distro work pretty seamlessly with secureboot these days.
