What the fuck have you been trying that you have to jump through so many hoops? Hanna-Montana Linux? I get that some distros don't work with some hardware unless you get down and dirty with some tweaking, but in my case, I only had that issue once with an Alienware laptop and Linux mint, because of the NVIDIA card, but that was 11 years ago. Never again since. How does that compare to having to hunt down drivers to make everything work in windows unless you purchase a computer with windows pre-installed for it to work 'out of the box'. If you reinstall, good luck with that.
And even if some distros don't play nice with NVIDIA cards from first install, they will still give you a display to allow you to get it to work correctly, so there's that.
Honestly, by all means, stay on windows. I'm happy on the penguin side of things, you're happy on the... whatever that side of the spectrum happens to be right now.
Did you read? Bazzite and steamos respectively. Please tell me how I don't know what I'm doing or imagining these things.
I did read, and part of what I said came from that as well. My steam deck has been on bazzite, SteamOS and ChimeraOS, and I've never had an issue there either.
To be clear, I'm not saying you're imagining anything. It could very well be faulty hardware, a BIOS level issue, the downloaded ISOs themselves. The possibilities are endless. But the reality is that I have not had that experience in the Linux world at all, but have had a way worse experience with Windows, and I used to build gaming PCs in my country for a living, with Windows, since XP. Windows is a royal pain in the ass unless you buy the equipment with it preinstalled, and even then, the 1 hour + updates and resources hogging are ridiculous.
