the only reason why I still using windows is gaming. give me a platform where I can use steam and gog and I will not be touching windows ever again if not in a professional capacity.

Fuck subscription models

You can use Proton on Linux to make Steam and windows games work. It's the same way the Steam Deck runs games even though it's Linux based.
