Sometimes people use Tor just to get around 'This site is blocked in your country'
But hey, I hear ya! I've been running Linux as my daily driver since 2015, and the more they enshittify Windows, the more I recommend others make the switch.
I really need to bite the bullet and wipe windows off my new laptop. I've had an arch based distro downloaded and ready to go since mid August. Just don't want to have to download my steam library again. My shitty Internet is painful sometimes.
Can't you just move it?
Can confirm you can just move the game files to your Linux steam library to avoid redownloading
That might help. Sadly I don't have enough raw space worth of thumb drives. And I'd do a full install of Linux, no dual booting.
Buy a second drive, they are cheap these days. Then you can keep the OEM Windows around, for a just in case.
