I keep trying Linux for a week or so at a time, but every time I do, I just can't do what I want on it. It lacks software like Playnite - a FOSS game launcher that lets me manage my collection of games across different platforms. Discord on it doesn't support screen audio when screen sharing, and the app that enables it is finicky at best. I end up spending more time in my terminal than doing browsing, playing games, etc, like I'd like to be doing. I don't hate Linux. I love the idea of Linux, but in practice... I just have a really hard time enjoying my time on my computer with it.
I just came off running Nobara for 2 days then moving because of compatibility issues and its UI feeling slow, then I ran Mint for another 5 days. I hope one day Linux can be what I want from my PC.
Steam and emulators work great but somethings are more complicated. As far as games your confined inside the steam environment unless you're willing to do extra work.
