I’d switch off windows but most of the games I play won’t work on Linux due to “anti cheat”.

What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.

You must not play most of the top 5 fps games then lol.

Literally everything a "normal" gamer plays is not supported on linux.
