Almost all distros are alright with me. Do what you want because Linux is free.

Yes, but I like gaming without having to tweak things for every game. Proton is looking pretty good thanks to the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be a very solid option when it comes time for me to make a decision.

Unfortunately, a lot of my music software and hardware is incompatible with both Linux and W11

Proton is already a pretty solid option. I've found many games that are labeled "unsupported" on Steam work just fine (for example, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition with DSFix).

I've got games that are Linux compatible, and the Windows version with Proton works better than the native Linux runtime.
