I only have one machine that's still running Windows. This would convince me to finally make that zero.

Same bro. Linux gaming is getting better and better every day. That's my last hurdle.

Gaming on Wayland on an amd card is so smooth it's almost unbelievable. Fullscreen Cyberpunk 2077 and I can seemlessly minimize to taskbar, accidently forgot about it and left it running all day, no slowdowns or issues.

Windows would still stutter and choke trying to do the same on a game 10 years old.

I only have one machine using Windows because I don't want to be "left behind" in the corporate desktop world, but it's on my "left hand monitor" while my center and right of three monitors are Kubuntu. The specs won't let me use 11 on any of my systems. My company laptop is still Windows 10 as well because some of our security software doesn't run on 11 yet.

If I didn't have to work in the corporate space, I'd quit Windows in a fast second. I have been using Kubuntu as my daily driver for almost 10 years now.
