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.
I have Linux Mint on an ancient laptop and it runs just about anything I'd want to play. I don't play shooters or anything really graphics-heavy, though, mostly turn-based stuff. I don't know if I'm confident enough with Linux to put it on my desktop, but I guess I'm going to need to be real quick like.
You can check out https://www.protondb.com/ and see if what you play is supported. Like Draklor said, anything with anti-cheat is probably out.
