Well shit. I use 7 because it's stable. It won't be updated against my will and a kernel update won't break everything installed on my machine. Guess I'll start looking into how much you can strip out of 10.
Keep me posted, I'm gonna have to make that same journey. I was due for a new rig for a while now, but I didn't really have a reason to upgrade because everything I wanted to play still ran.
10 is fine if you use a custom ROM. That or use Linux which Steam supports.
Unless you're a single-player type of person, Linux may not be the best platform. Mileage of multiplayer games vary due to anti-cheat. Some like Apex Legends support Proton. Others such as Destiny 2 do not.
I made an earnest attempt to get into Linux years ago. It was my primary machine for 6 to 12 months. Linux is not for me.
Use Steams custom spin like they do on their stuff.
