Did the same thing. Finally settled on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, but Nobara looks good too.
It's hard to cold turkey jump to Linux, transitioning to Linux should be the default recommendation.
Yeah, I'd never recommend cold turkey-ing it. That's a recipe for dissatisfaction I think. A gradual transition is easy and there's so much less pressure when things go awry.
I still have windows for VR. Maybe there's a solution, but VR is enough of a hassle. I'm glad I've still got the windows drive around in that sense
I tried switching about a decade ago, when gaming wasn't really possible. I ended up just not using it. Recently, after proton, I tried to dual boot again, to slowly transition. I chose to install them on the same drive on different partitions, and this worked fine until I booted into Windows one time and it updated and nuked the boot partition. I just swore off Windows at that point because Linux was now handling everything I needed. Anything I wanted with Windows I could live without, and it's been fantastic since.
I was on Fedora then, and I'm on Garuda now. Both are good, but a few things with Fedora annoyed me (they were done for a reason but I didn't like it). Garuda has been great. I've had zero complaints.
