Anything to help people move away from dependence on Microsoft Windows. I'm concerned about the glut of hardware incompatible with W11- now is a great time to switch to Linux Mint Debian Edition, for one great example. When I played games, including via Steam, it worked great, except for ones with uncooperative anti-cheat, in which case I didn't care because it was just another nail in the coffin of using games as self-medication (this may not be the most common use-case).

Keep in mind the opportunity cost of playing games beyond "wind-down" time. Raising a kid gave my life more meaning and helped me get out of the compulsive gaming. It's nice to not be drugged with bread and circuses anymore.
