sway is pretty good. Doesn't give me much troubles compared to hyprland (which I also like)

Linux Gaming is worse than Windows gaming for obvious reasons, but it's in much better state than 5 years ago. You should check out protondb and see for yourself regarding the hardware/software config you should do. If you are ready to play the game to run the game, then you can pretty much try out Linux. Many games in Steam/Lutris don't need any additional tweaks and work with nearly the same performance as Windows games, some work better, some work worse because of Wine/DXVK/... implementations are made. Native games usually run great.
I use Linux at home around 5 years already. It was bumpy ride, but it made me better professional.
Still I work(ed) in companies that use Windows and M$ apps extensively, but overall my experience is inferior and productivity suffers. At least now I can and need to use WSL because all the cloud stuff daily drives Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL anyway.
Although it's generally good idea, you will have hardware/software issues in the future. As I remember there is LTSB out there and it was pretty solid, but in times I used it long ago, I already had a lot of issues that required hours to find a workaround.
Typical loop in this case:
- Oh, M$ is so disgusting, I never gonna switch to the new platform!
In a few months/years
- Well, my apps/hardware are not working, time to switch anyway. Not because it's not working anymore, but because the platform is mature and I actually like it.
I live in Japan now. Can confirm that there are people that drink tap water without boiling, but I personally prefer to boil it. Sometimes avoiding to use electricity just boils down (pun intended) to saving money here, that's not the only trick though.
Arch/EndeavourOS. Updates for the recent hardware come pretty fast and they are stable. Most of the time I use gamescope from Valve to get better latency.
That should be in the FAQ
Well, Russian laws deteoriation towards the pro-government/oligarch interests is just de-jure confirmation of what was de-facto for a long time.
Be careful not to replace bash with fish as some systems fail to work with new shell. I usually init fish/nu shells with other instruments, like alacritty and/or zellij
