I have been using Linux for the last 5 years.
I didn't switch because i wanted to escape windows.
I switched because fedora's immutable OS distributions, Flatpaks, Distroboxes, DevContainers, Steam with Proton, Gnome, and etc.
This is what I have been looking for in an OS or a long time.
Apps have permissioned access to the file-system via file/directory select dialogs.
I can "sandbox" Non-Flatpak apps with Distrobox with seperate home folder just for the app.
I can code stuff inside DevContainers isolate my devtools.
Etc. I really love the experience. Not to mention lots go amazing Flatpak GUI apps for managing Flatpaks, AppImages, Distroboxes. You don't have to touch Terminal at all.
Anyway I also have been doing some hobby game development on Linux. I use WebGPU, since it can translate to anything, a nice middle layer, not outdated like OpenGL, and less complex than using Vulcan directly.
I have a feeling many games developed on Linux, can easily ported to Mac and Windows.
If it works on Linux it can probably just work on Windows too.
Probably.
