I'm thinking of changing over to Linux exclusively for a gaming exclusive set up. Is this sensible or should I remain on Windows?

setting up linux for gaming is not really a hassle if your just playing single player games on steam. all your need is proton which is built into steam and you just enable it on any of your games that don't support linux which most aren't. there are like i said before beefed up versions of proton that you can use like gloriouseggroll's ones. for those there is a simple app on the flathub store called protonup-qt and it just injects it into the right folder and then you can use it. also there are launch commands like feral gamemode that can squeeze every last drop out of your computer. if you were to have games from launchers like origin, epic games, blizzard then there are TONS of apps that can install those launchers for you like bottles lutris heroic and if you wanna know if a game is gonna work on linux you can go to protondb and look at the reviews of the game you wanna try :)
