Of you can do what 3% of Deskop/Laptop users in the US did last year and switch to Linux instead.

This is what I am strongly considering doing. In my list of games I regularly play only one or two don't fully support linux. I have 10, and ran never 11 so I dont get pestered, but the time is rapidly approaching for my semi-annual windows refresh. I am trying to find reasons to upgrade to 11 and so far the list is empty.

PopOS is a great middle ground. It's an Ubuntu derivative (although they also recently released their own OS) that manages Nvidia drivers on your behalf.

Gaming on Steam is extremely simple now, doesn't matter if it natively supports Linux. Valve has put a lot of effort into decoupling from Windows.

Admittedly, there are still some issues, but 95% of the time it's fully functional. I'm mostly messing around with settings, not drivers.

Where is that figure from?

Have you tried to Google it first? Statcounter and aus gov agency.

I'm not sure about that figure, but Steam usage shows that ~3.6% of users are running Linux.
