For games relying solely on Windows kernel-level anticheats and using the Abode suite, Linux isn't suitable. You can always dualboot to enjoy the advantages of both systems. If desired, you can install everything on a Linux dualboot and give it a shot…

I don't usually play those games. Mostly I enjoy Valve titles or solo experiences. I chose to set up a Windows partition so I can play Battlefield.

Some Linux distributions, such as Fedora, feel natural on their own, but moving between systems often requires adjustment and can be challenging. If you're accustomed to Windows, you'll face unfamiliar features and may have to let go of certain proprietary tools. Over the past 25 years, I've used macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, and Fedora as my primary operating systems, each transition bringing its own difficulties. My recommendation is to set up dual booting, invest time in learning, experiment freely, and give alternative software a fair chance more than once. A difficult shift is rarely enjoyable for most people.

He recently completed the conversion and is experiencing some unusual problems with Windows 11. He prefers Microsoft's track record but found everything went smoothly during installation and setup. He was pleased to see Gsync function properly from the start. He noted improvements compared to Linux, which he has used daily in his IT work. Although he works with Linux regularly, he expected some challenges during setup but didn’t encounter any conflict. He only needed to use the terminal briefly for VM software configuration. Overall, he is thrilled about moving away from Microsoft products.

She switched between Windows and Linux after an incident, but everything seemed normal afterward. She managed her accounts, browsing, emails, learning the violin, and even downloaded music without issues. Others with similar ages had their Windows set up for installations, but they faced problems. One person struggled with assignments on Windows, while I helped her transition to Linux successfully—leading to her completing work and securing a job.

Linux offers a convenient setup since you don’t have to install anything initially. Many setups support running from a CD or USB drive. I suggest using Ventoy, which lets you download and copy several ISO files onto a flash drive. My drive is 32Gb with roughly 8GB available for Windows. The process starts by booting into Ventoy, where you select the desired distribution, and everything is loaded into RAM safely. You can then install the OS, wipe existing files, or dual boot with Windows by choosing the storage space. After rebooting, a menu lets you switch between Linux and Windows. It might seem like a lot to do at first, but trying beginner-friendly distros helps you understand the differences. Mint Cinnamon, PopOS, and Ubuntu are popular choices—just pick what suits you best. Happy exploring in the realm of free and secure computing!

You're not able to enjoy Battlefield 2042, but you can try Battlefield 1 instead.

Consider Nobara. I came across an article mentioning it's heavily bundled, and it seems to be the most detailed version available. Grab Nobara – Nobara Linux | The Nobara Project

It's perfectly fine to use Windows for that.
