Other than using classic shell, I pretty much like the W10 toolbar. The harder learning curve is I still have many years of searching for X, when the UX is now in Y for a given setting. It's arguably in a better place now, just hard to re-learn.

As to linux gaming, a lot of effort has been made with Steam, another walled garden, but a nicer one. I just wish some of the UI/UX in linux would solidify a bit. I've been running elementary with some tweaks on my spare, but still not enough for my main desktop.
