There’s basically no reason to keep using windows.
Debian or Linux Mint are both easy to install, work out of the box, and the only thing that might take a smidge of effort is the 3 commands you gotta run to install gpu drivers.
Steam proton works incredibly well. I ran my entire steam library (most of which were “windows only” games) and even single one worked with proton as is without issues.
I’ve been using steam link from my debian box for months now and it’s smooth as butter.
