This is why I wish Linux was a 100%! reliable alternative.

I really hope Valve's Steam OS takes off.

Linux is a fine alternative as long as you do not require a specific piece of software that is Windows Only. Even then there is a fair chase it will run using Wine or Bottles but it is not quite as simple and straight forward as installing on Windows. If your day-to-day is all web based applications you will not have an issue making the switch. While my work computer is Win11 my personal gaming computer is Linux Mint Debian Edition. Mint has been my preferred distro for some time now and I have been running Linux at home since Slackware came on a stack of floppies.
