I might not switch on my current daily driver, but I'm seriously thinking of converting an extra PC I have lying around and seeing what all the fuss (foss) is about.
I've installed Lubuntu on my ancient laptop and it's amazing how much faster and more stable it is! It's almost like a new machine that is also crap for gaming ๐
Gaming is 90% of what I use my PC for, which is what has been holding me back this long.
Mileage will vary depending on the type of games you enjoy. In particular, the worst group of games are multiplayer competitive with invasive anti-cheats - those tend just not work at all.
Otherwise, gaming in general has gotten very viable(especially easy on Steam), they run anywhere from okay to great from my experience.
