Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Bazzite – a Steam0S-like OCI image for desktop, living room, and handheld PCs
It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.

How good is the experience of playing games with Wine or Proton compatibility layers?
AFAIK the games that don't work are more modern, competetive games that use Anticheat. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good resource to see the status of your game.

OLED Dreams
It is game by game basis. Use this guide to see if the game you play is supported or not.
- So you're removing the possible access to play my old games I bought?

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

Wine 9.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
> except Multiplayer online games
That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.
See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Thinking about switching, what am I giving up?
Only listed the 'bigger' ones, but you have a rather full list here if you want to check your favorite games: arwianticheatyet.com

Are there any major sacrifices you make to play on Linux over Windows?
Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.

Windows 11 struggling to escape the shadow of Windows 10
> Windows 11 brings absolutely nothing on the table
It also removes a leg from the table, the one labelled 'usability'.
Attaching a 3rd-party leg to fill the gap helps (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher), but it's not an ideal solution
- Should I go back to using windows 11 again?
- Windows.. you think thats where the "1 Notification" should go?

Microsoft Will Eventually Start Charging You for Windows 10 Security Updates
I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen
That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Screenshots from Windows 95
Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Rectify11 Improving upon the Windows 11 experience
Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.
