I dislike windows 10 but it currently is what gets the job done the easiest and best for what I need. But all in all it is entirely up to the person because both have there pros and cons and it is pretty much dependent on what you are planning on doing with the pc and OS.

This is true. While I might personally use Linux as a daily driver, and have not missed Windows, you should most definitely use the best tool for the job, even if it means Win$$. That said, many multiplayer games and thousands of singleplayer games will work fine on WINE and Proton, and indie games commonly have a native application for Linux, which can be found on itch.io

Link for ProtonDB, which has a database of all the non-linux native games that work in Linux via Steam Proton: https://www.protondb.com/

Link for itch.io, a great indie game marketplace: https://itch.io/


Discord servers specifically tailored for gaming:

Gaming on Linux, an ad-free site that focuses on Linux gaming: link
It also has a search list that contains both free, and paid games that you can sort by price.

Go to ProtonDB to see if your games on Steam will run. Even if it's not on the list, it's likely being worked on. And if all else fails, remember that a Linux gamer is a patient gamer.
