The only problem you probably will have is the unfamiliarity.
Steam runs flawlessly with proton (check protondb to see compability and guides to your games).
Lutris allows to install non steam games with installation scripts you get from lutris.net
Wine can be a bit tricky at times but the community is very helpful.
Try to be open regarding the applications you will now have to deal with as most propiertary applications you know from Windows won't easily work (but can be ported via wine if you really really need to)
The Software Center is your friend and gives you a huge variety of applications to download and try out.
Happy journey!
I convinced my brother to move from Win10 to Fedora and he had a mostly seamless experience.
Only problems he encountered were with GTA V online play, offline worked but he could not go online, and with game modding. On Windows he used vortex mod manager which did not work for him with the Lutris install script.
Thank you very much!
All your tips were great and I am in love with my Garuda!
