2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

Check out Lime disto. It's a friendlier interface and all the cool perks of Ubuntu. It's built on the basic same architecture. I have had my Steam and many other games work. If it wasn't for Epic I would go full Linux.
I'm sure you're probably aware, but the Heroic Game Launcher has compatibility built in to install and launch both Gog and Epic games. Makes it almost as easy as steam to set up and get going. I can't speak to any multiplayer/FPS games with anti-cheat shit though, probably SOL there
I tried it. It does have the launcher. However the Anti Cheat software of the game no one can get around. I'm even in their discord and the explicitly say it doesn't work or load in. You can get into the game menu and the minute you instance in the game boots you.
