I just got a new laptop, and I'm overwhelmed by all the pre-installed software—it's really annoying! I'm mainly using it for work and gaming, but I've heard that there might not be as many apps and games available on Linux. I'm wondering if switching to Linux would be worth it to get rid of all this bloatware and enjoy more customization options.

Making the switch could be beneficial, but I wouldn't delete your Windows partition just yet. You might run into work-related software that only runs on Windows. If your laptop has a second drive, try installing Linux there. If not, you can create a dual-boot setup, though there might be some quirks with that.
Actually, around 90% of games on Steam run on Linux, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble with gaming. It's definitely worth looking into!
That's a solid point! You could also consider using a virtual machine for any Windows-required tasks.
