Welcome to the club! I’ve been gaming on nothing but Linux for a couple of months now and I’ve been able to run all my windows apps so far. I still have to test a final few applications in wine using bottles but so far everything’s worked.
I’m going full Linux in a could of weeks after I back up everything.
I’ll be installing Kubuntu.
Don’t listen to the others with their immutable distros or Arch. You’ll want stability and compatibility and nothing beats Ubuntu based distros for that. Plus it has the largest user base and great documentation and support.
