Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

I never tried Linux, but I consider it every few years. However if I weigh that

  • O&O Shutup10 and group policies can remove all the telemetry and intrusiveness from Windows +
  • most of my work involves Adobe products +
  • my main hobby is gaming, with the vast majority of my games not having a Linux port

there are simply too many factors that would make Linux to be more hassle, have less performance or downright impossible to serve as a substitute for Windows, while for me personally not really offering any practical benefits over Windows.

If you need adobe, fair enough.

With Steam's Proton, you can play games made for Windows. The only games which certainly won't work are ones which require anti-cheat.

My main game for the last 1-2 years has been Genshin Impact, and a cursory googling says that it does use kernel level anti cheat.
