Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
FYI, Classic Shell is discontinued, long live the https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

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.

Steam dropping support for Windows 7/8/8.1 on January 1, 2024
if you don't like the new taskbar, start menu, or the new right click menu, you'll want to grab ExplorerPatcher, Open-Shell, and WinAero Tweaker which will effectively make 11 look and feel like 10 again. sometimes i genuinely forget that i'm using 11

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.

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.
