All at a time where I think I’m actually going to switch to Linux.

I just tried out an install on my laptop and boy does it work well even for gaming.

Windows has, nothing I actually need any more?

It feels really big to really leave Windows for good, but, I think it’s going to happen after a bit more testing of my Linux setup.

Don’t use bazzite. Use Mint. Go for the easiest solution. You can get another drive and dual boot later.
