I set up my first gaming PC running Linux in 21 years today.
It's now much easier.
Plug in USB stick, boot, install, reboot. The Ubuntu app store had Steam, and Nvidia drivers auto installed... all the audio, trackpad on the laptop etc just worked out of box.
The usual Steam GUI and most games work with zero effort, it auto installs a compatibility layer so Windows versions just.. uhm.. work.
It's really impressive.
