[deleted] If you are curious and managed to install and use GOS, installing a popular Linux distribution won't be a big issue. Honestly even back in 2008 when I installed Ubuntu 8.10 for the first time, it was easier to use and manage than Windows right away (to be fair, I was coming from Windows Vista back then, so the bar was low :D).
Nobara is a good idea for gaming, you could also look into Bazzite or HoloISO depending on your needs. I personally would simply install Fedora as it comes with Steam and NVIDIA drivers ready to install. It has a large user base, is not just gaming focused and uses better security practices compared to most Linux distributions, but choice again is all up to you.
You'll be surprised how easy everything is from the get go. Depending on your choice you opt in to a different Desktop environment (the look and feel of the OS, but you can change that later on). For the mentioned systems these are usually Gnome, KDE or Steam Gaming Mode. I think the workflow of Gnome is far superior to Windows, while KDE is similar to Windows out of the box, but highly customizable. Installing apps is easy with one click in the respective app stores, so no more downloading and installing of .exe files. System and app updates are centralized and automatic, but will never be forced on you upon restart. And you can usually encrypt your SSD easily on installation (on Windows Home it's a bit more complicated). That might hit gaming performance, so it depends how secure you want your PC/Laptop to be.
Maybe check out YouTube for videos on Fedora, Nobara, Bazzite and HoloISO and find what's best for you. If you need help, there are forums and wikis everywhere (including this one, although not specific to Linux gaming). And in order to see how well your favorite game will run on Linux or what hoops you have to jump through, you can consult protondb. You'll see most games work well on Linux, some even better than on Windows.
