I was saying somewhere else that I was building a PC and the installation was literally inserting a USB stick and it was easier than setting up a game on Steam. You run a chance of your games suffering. I’ve been able to play Cult of the Lamb and Raft just fine. Allegedly Elden Ring is fine. Something like LoL or battle net will require some tricky software management, but I’ve gotten StarCraft II to work and never bothered with LoL because it frustrates me to play and I hate it. I got an N64 emulator to work with the games that I definitely lawfully ripped from my cartridges for the sake of back ups.

Installing Linux over Windows might be difficult and you should ask someone who isn’t me because I have never.
