Current rig has dual boot Windows/fedora but even in the windows there’s a little WSL Ubuntu running sometimes so I guess I have way more Linux even though I use Windows more right now… I’m trying…

I will fully switch when installing mods are just as easy as windows. So far I haven’t found mod managers that work only for one or two games. I have switched mostly to pop os using plasma.

Oblivion remastered, stardew valley, fallout 4, or rimworld.

Modding might not be as easy as on Windows, but for example, Mod Organizer 2 works on Linux. Steam Tinker Launch helps with MO2 installation and usage. Wabbajack also works after some tinkering, but you’ll need to search the Internet to figure out how to get it working.
I have recently played Fallout: New Vegas with Viva New Vegas modlist and Skyrim with Nordic Souls modlist under Linux. Took some tinkering to get the modding things working, and to figure out where each of the files are located, but other than those, the games worked fine.
Once you go through the pain of getting one modding tool working, you can then use it with other games without the initial hassle.

The only things keeping my on Windows rn is Visual Studio and DirectX 11. Linux doesn't have C++ IDEs or a Graphics API that even comes close to these two

I’d argue that VSCode plus extensions is a decent replacement for Visual Studio and actually superior for many other text editing tasks that are not C++.

Vulkan is absolutely amazing. It also runs LLMs these days almost as well as CUDA.

Why does that website have the same layout as one of those AI-generated blogs that clogs up search results on DDG? It isn’t AI, but the design is almost identical.

It doesn’t say how they got this number in the piece (unless I missed it), but it’s likely more than 5% if they are, say, counting the OS by user agent strings hitting a particular tracker. Linux distros use different browsers and they don’t report the OS in an accurate way all the time.
For a long time my UAS just said “Firefox, the version #, NT-based” or something like that, but now it reports Linux properly… I haven’t been paranoid enough to use a agent switcher lately.
