    Okay I’m not very technical but I hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being and want desperately to break from them but can’t bring myself to switch my regular and gaming PCs to Linux. It just feels like too much work like I’d be starting over and most of all I just fear change. Is there a good YT series/channel or blog or something I can check out that might make things a little less intimidating?

      Dude, with the exception of Gamepass, Linux gaming is really easy.

      If you’re okay with Redhat/Fedora, using Nobara Linux (it’s a spin-off, unofficial, but by the guy who does a lot of the Proton [magic compatibility sauce] stuff, GloriousEggroll, who AFAIK is a dev at RedHat) literally installs everything you need.

      Steam → Steam
      GoG/Epic → Heroic Launcher
      Amazon/Blizzard → Lutris
      Gamepass → You have to use the cloud version with Edge browser

      Click, install, game.

      There’s only a few Anticheat PITA titles still (I believe Valorant is one) that won’t work.
