Frankly, I have no fucking sympathy for Windows users. They keep putting up with this shit, quit crying about it and take control of your OS.
It "just works" (hah using that quote for windows) though. I probably have the tech knowledge to do everything I want on Linux, but I don't want to have to struggle through it or take the performance hit on non native games
Using a mainstream distro like Ubuntu, along with Steam makes it fairly seemless - no struggling required.
95% of my Steam library I can install and run without a second thought and the performance isn't noticeably different to Windows. Some non-Steam titles I use Lutris for, but that's only one or two extra steps.
