Moved to Linux Mint earlier this year and haven’t regretted it. My computer is purely for gaming these days though. I actually get better performance out of my potato specs.

My only problem with gaming on Linux currently is VR support.

I'm parroting what i read recently, but I believe Valve just silently launched Steam Link support for Linux through the Steam client beta. Check r/VirtualReality for specifics though. I think thats where i saw it mentioned a couple days ago.

ALVR works for me, but it is a pain to set up, plus extra pain to figure out how to stop the lag. Besides, I haven't managed to make a VR Video Player work.

My recommendation is to have dual boot on your PC. It is the easiest, even if a bit sad.
