I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by modern Linux.

Most hardware works out of the box. You don't even need to do an automated install. For other things, I can plug in a printer and it'll do the hard work for me.

As for games, Linux can now run something like 90% of Steam games and for the vast majority, there's no ****Ing around to do. Just install Steam and download your game. You may want to check ProtonDB to ensure your title is supported but in general the only games with showstoppers are those that use anti-cheat.

Linux distros have been rocking the app store model for a long time now, with the option to do things the Windows way if a vendor really wants to go that way.
