I'm back to Windows 10 (now 11) on my main PC since I bought an Xbox and there's hassle-free Cloud gaming, crossplay etc.
When I exclusively played on PC and built the new Machine, I was too cheap to buy a Windows licence. I tried Pop!OS because I like their gaming-focussed apporach. All games that were relevant to me (via Steam, mostly) worked fine.
I've since bought a Steam Deck, so I'm running SteamOS as well.
To be fair who really buys Windows licences unless it's a business or an org
I did... for a very discounted price. Call me lazy if you want, but I didn't want the hassle to source another version.
It's actually comically easy to get Windows on a machine because Microsoft wants everyone's default OS to be windows as much as possible. Its an easy loophole to use Windows without paying for it at all, ever.
