I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn't feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.

Almost all of my games work fine and don't have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn't work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA's launcher has given me a few issues.

You shouldn't have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.

If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren't working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.

GTA V which doesn't work at all

YMMV. Works out of the box on the deck and I don't remember having any problems with it on arch.

Dualboot could work, I tried it before and didn't go very well I might give it another chance, by the way does online games with anti cheat that works on Linux under wine will that get me ban?

Pretty sure that depends on the anticheat they're using, could you provide a name?

You can literally just download Windows for free from the Microsoft site.

Yeah I know. Still have to pay for license though unless you like having the activate windows watermark in the corner.
