    I would like to point out that this is exactly the same difficulty of just installing linux, without freeing you from microserfdom.

      The problem for me is that I basically only use my PC for gaming and YouTube.

      I know SOME games work, but I don’t want to add to the list of games I can’t play because they’re console/windows only. :/

        We’ve long since transitioned into the “most” games work territory. Basically apart from anything with rootkit-like anti cheat, you shouldn’t have any trouble playing games at all.

      Comparing the level of effort to run windows vs Linux is a whole other thing I’m definitely not getting into. I use Linux for work and run it on two machines at home, but I also use my Windows box for games. You can use and enjoy both, it doesn’t have to be a religious war.
