Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn’t know possible.
2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.
Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.
I didn’t mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.
That’s why whatever you need to do that requires windows can be done in a VM. It’s my plan for when I inevitably move to Linux. As to how I get the OS files, well, I am not allowed to share that information because copyright.
Gaming has come a long way now in Linux with steam and proton, most games are playable. You can check out protondb to see what games don’t work, but it’s amazing compared to even a few years ago.
