I've been hearing more and more negative things about the new Windows and its privacy issues and with 10 having an end of support date I'd like to change before then...but everything i see about Linux makes it seem like its not something I want. I don't do any work on my computer so customization means nothing to me, its 90% a device for playing games with friends. The issue from this is that a lot of the games I play would need some sort of work around/WINE/other pre-reqs to work and I am too dumb to use a command line. The only thing i ever used it for prior is ipconfig, it doesnt seem very user friendly especially for someone who doesnt work with computers directly.

While I can use a VM for anything that would be on XP and back id have to find the actual game i want to run and download that which can be tricky at best when i already have it on Steam or other library. I have heard Proton or Lutris for running games but those are just words to me and i dont know what they do and it sounds like more junk to use a command line for. Dual booting is also something i would rather avoid as if i need to use windows for something and restart my computer i may as well just use windows anyway. Is it really worthwhile for me to bother with linux for just suck it up and deal with windows and microsoft.
