Anything USB you can just pass through to a virtual machine running windows. Like if you need some old scanner to work.
Not ideal, but not that annoying. Shouldn't stop you from using Linux.
But in any case I'd try out Linux in a VM under windows for a while so you start with a distro you can tolerate. Most linux distros now have terrible GUIs that look nice and have near-zero usability.
Desktop-use wise I'm already 98% Linux myself, the other 2% if my scanner works in a virtual box then that's 1% of it covered.
I'll get to gaming eventually. I'm currently not prepared hardware wise to dual boot, I just don't have the disk space to give up to partition at the moment

I didn't know that...thanks. I do want to keep being able to use this old scanner so I'll have to get that set up
You can use VirtualBox to try out Linux and then later to run your scanner in Windows.
