I've stopped trying to fight to install things on Linux. Anything with kernel level anticheat it seems is torment. They okay Fortnite, and quite a bit of Marvel Rivals (which initially worked, then stopped, I see reports suggesting it's working again but I don't have time to be full-time support to keep things running smoothly).

We do use Kubuntu for games that run in it without drama - Risk of Rain, Roblox (via Sober), browser games, CS2.

They also are expected to use Microsoft Office for school (UK), it's possible to work that online, but the experience is worse, slower, more prone to issues it seems.

Fwiw, I've been a Linux distro user for decades and was Linux only until the first child got to highschool. Microsoft's "educational" policy works for them!

There are things like Roblox that are really only usable under Windows due to a perverse idea of what "anti-cheat" should look like.
