Yeah, there is nothing that can be done about the anti-cheat. Those
titles require TPM to be enabled despite the fact that on the AMD side
at least, it is messy. For such people, console gaming is probably the
smarter choice.

Wintendo works more easily in some ways, than Linux. I would dare say
it's worth the effort, though, to have a system free of Microsoft.

It's worth the effort if you don't feel the need to replace your
computer every three years or if you feel like getting proper support or
a smooth experience during those three years. The way Windows PC
manufacturers disregard your issues once they've already gotten your
money is shocking. If they didn't have to offer a warranty, I'm sure
they wouldn't.

I've never found Windows "easier" to use than Linux. The opposite is true. But I haven't tried to get Windows games working in Linux or M$ Office working in Wine, so I guess that would a difference.

You would be surprised at how easy it has become for most of the titles.
Some titles are harder but can work if you're willing to jump through a
series of hoops. The thought of going back to Windows is so grotesque to
some of these people that they would rather jump through the hoops.
