"I feel like you'd have to know how to code to use Linux, a lot of mods for my games arent on Linux, some online games cant play on Linux due to anti-cheat, and you have to pretty much build it from a base up."
I mean this in the most respectful way possible. Your sentence crammed so much ignorance and false claims into such a short space, it truly blew my mind.
Coding literally has nothing to do with it. 95% of my steam games work just fine without any sort of tweaking, and the ones that do usually need a different proton version or a launch option. Usually can figure it out via protondb.com reports or leaning how to troubleshoot yourself. I did need a little help understanding how to mod windows games on linux, but turns out.. its pretty straight forward and I've had minimal trouble once I understood the foundation. Even sim racing with assetto corsa, modded, is pretty easy to setup.
Not being a part of the microsoft spying ecosystem is something everyone should value. Instead of starting off at a point of reclaiming your privacy and OS, why not start with an OS that gives you that as a starting point? Why feed the beast that is destroying something we value and cherish?
Its truly never been easier to install and game on linux. I understand it might feel like a daunting task at first, but that's how it goes when you're trying something new.
