Funny enough, this is why I switched to Linux. In 2006 I was playing too many games (MMOs..) and not doing enough study at my course (was 16 at the time enrolled in an education you can go to after year 10 called TAFE here in Australia).

Haven't looked back since, barely play games anymore (I did go through a stint of WoW).

Amused Linux is super supportive of games now. :-)

One of the reasons I bought a Linux box as well, but can confirm Steam works well on linux now..

I "game" about a 2-3 hour per week gamer though I'll go a few months not playing at all. Board games with friends works well on steam (tabletop sim/teraforming mars/wingspan and lords of water deep.. ).. with video chat back channel which is the best part. Black Mesa/Portal/Alien Isolation which work well on my intel/Nvidia based laptop from 4 years ago (PopOS).

With the steam deck being linux based, I suspect using linux will be better and better for gaming.
