This is me. Always Windows for my gaming computer and when I built a new one recently, I went full Linux. No regrets so far.

Same. Overall it's been a great experience, but it's had a few issues. Nothing making me even consider going back though

Switched to Linux Mint a couple of weeks ago. Been playing games for 30 years on windows. So far so good. Played The Drifter through Heroic without issue. Great game btw.

Got an 1080ti. I hope I won't run into to many issues.
