Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

Y'all have no idea how true this is. I just finished building my OC and installed CachyOS (Arch derivative). Got Steam running incredibly easily. I can play both Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2 online multiplayer. The only tweak I needed to do was use a different version of Proton for Helldivers 2 (which would've been the default one, but Cachy has its own Cachy one).

I don't know when the last time y'all have tried to play games on Linux is, but it is genuinely trivial. Even Nvidia drivers are easy now.

I just installed mint on a little gaming PC connected to my TV. Set it up to boot straight to steam with big screen mode. The only thing that is a small chore was installing xpadneo for my controller and downloading many many gigs of games into it.
