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.

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?

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.

How can I remove the "modern" right click options on windows 11?
If you want to keep the look of the new menu, but revert to the old entries you can try Nilesoft Shell

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Finally, to get a decent start menu and context menu back Explorer patcher and Shell work wonders. There is also Open shell if you want that classic Windows 7-10 look, but personally I think it looks dated in comparison. The Win11 start menu looks fine, it's just missing core functionality.

Windows 11 Start menu ads look set to get even worse – this is getting painful now
Check out context menu manager shell, it keeps the win11 styling but fixes all of its issues. Looks like this.

It is not open source. Visit the repository you linked and you will find it is only their website and configuration. The code is closed source, there is an issue on their repo about it: https://github.com/moudey/Shell/issues/139

Tiny 11 for AyaNeo
Honestly not worth it. You are better off, installing an unmodified Windows 11 and later debloat it with a script. The other programs I would recommend are ExplorerPatcher and Nilesoft Shell.
