This is what I'm going to have to do as well since my computer isn't compatible with Win11. The only thing I'm worried about is gaming.

Depends on what you are playing, but gaming in Linux has come a long way. Some games won't work due to companies not enabling their (rootkit) "anti-cheats" for Linux, but other than that, there's more and more games that simply work by the day. Check out https://www.protondb.com/ to get an idea of what's working at the moment.

Also, ProtonDB might not always be right with their ratings. For example, Dead by Daylight is marked as "Silver" though it's been working perfectly with no tinkering. I think the ratings take time to improve?

You might misunderstand how their "ratings" work - they simply collect all reports and when people had trouble with the game before, and gave a negative or "tinkering required" rating, it will show in the overall stats.
