I will regret it actually, as I would constantly be struggling to play games my friends want to play (they are a picky bunch) and I would have to take probably a whole month installing and learning new applications, rewriting scripts, and so much more to integrate into Linux. Not to mention I would probably want to reformat and move 20TB of data to switch from NTFS. It's not something I want to do right now, but it is definitely something I am willing to do given enough provocation.

As for phones, I need one for work. Getting rid of it is a no-go.

For the beginning you can also dual boot. For games it depends. A lot of stuff works right out of the box but a lot of stuff requires additional steps or doesn't work. You can also check if a game is playable on Linux on protondb.com
