I am just not sure all my shit would run on Linux. Does Linux have a windows GUI? Do all the steam games have Linux compatability? Is there a Linux version of Windows Defender?

The GUI? Sure. Check out Zorin OS. Not to your liking?There’s others.

Steam? Mostly, yes. If you ja e a specific game in mind, a quick Internet search will answer that for you. In my case, 98% of games run (incl. most AAA games).

Good news: you don’t need anti virus on Linux. If you really want to, there’s decent options. But I yet have to encounter an infected Linux machine. Infected Windows machines, on the other hand, are easy to find. With Linux, your security will go up considerably, coming from Windows.
