This raises an interesting point actually… I have a new Win11 machine but my old Win10 one is just being kept around for low level, non essential tasks. I don’t have any essential apps left on there really now. I signed up for that extra year of Microsoft support that was offered but when that runs out I guess what a perfect time to have a play with Linux and see what all the fuss is about.

Unless you rely on pirated/cracked games, CAD or Adobe software, Linux will be a massive improvement to your computing experience.

What kind of issues do you expect with cracked games? Maybe I’m lucky, but the 20+ cracked games I tried worked perfectly fine in WINE.

Maybe my experience is outdated. I had about a 20% success rate in getting Windows executables running in Wine without fiddling.
So for a while now I only game via the Steam client, since I don’t pirate or mod games anymore.
Maybe things have improved in recent years, I wouldn’t know.

If you actually mean wine, there’s your problem. You should run games with proton. I use lutris for cracked games with proton, and rarely have issues with games not working.

Could also be a difference in the games. But I just dump the folder into the default wine prefix and run them from there.
