Google a map of the system calls for Windows 8,10,11. Now look at any Linux distro. Windows is an inefficient mess and getting worse with every new bit of telemetry they introduce. None of it has anything to do with making your experience better either since you are the product in this arrangement, not the OS. I have a Linux/Win11 Pro dual boot and rarely boot into Windows anymore.
I have over 300 titles in my Steam library and a lot of physical copies and haven't found one yet that didn't run in Linux via Proton or Wine. In fact, more run in Linux since Linux has better legacy Windows support than Windows. A lot of 95/98 and 2000/XP titles supported right out of the gate via Wine. Windows' compatibility mode and legacy DX and DirectSound support is dying fast, yet growing in Linux. Plus you can still use things like PCem and DOSBox and any console emulator you want.
Since Wine simply translates API calls on the fly (it's not an emulator) Linux can LARP as Windows even more efficiently than Windows can be Windows. This is not an exaggeration, it's just the truth. If you think your titles run great on Windows (admittedly, most do) then wait until you see them on Linux. None of the background fluff exists. Windows doesn't exist. The only things translated are what your program requires. Demanding titles like DCS or Flight Simulator are just perfectly smooth in Linux at all times because there is no Microsoft fuckery in the background and Vulkan is mature now. You can run whatever you want, with or without network support with one click. I don't even have to block any ports for my totally legal copies of Photoshop and AE.
If you want to keep things neat and tidy and centralized, use something like Lutris to keep track of your libraries.
