For #2,

For gaming, if you use steam, you may not face more than the following:

  • game does not work with no well known way to resolve. You can find this out by checking protonDB
  • game does not work because it needs to enable some options. Very easy to fix, and you can find the options on proton db for each game.
  • does not work because you didn't setup steam right. You often need to enable proton, which in short is steam's emulator or windows
  • does not work because your gpu drivers did not install. This depends on distro and they should all have a guide on how to do it, but usually it is just a matter of installing something.

For programming, you will love your life because everything programming is way easier on Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
