I guess what it boils down to for me is:
- do you want a lifelong tinkering project that is spyware-free but can't run games very well, if at all? use Linux
- are you willing to disable some spyware/adware and deal with enshittification in order to have a system that "just works" and can run anything? use Windows
honestly the #1 thing that keeps me on Windows is that gaming on Linux is still markedly worse and some games don't work at all
