I'm thinking about putting Linux on my Lenovo LOQ 3050 gaming laptop, but I'm concerned about potential driver issues and whether it might affect my warranty. I don't want to dual boot with Windows either. If I remove Windows entirely, will I encounter problems? Also, I plan to get an SSD for Windows later, but I'm not able to afford it right now.

You shouldn't have any major driver issues; most of them get automatically installed with Linux. As for your warranty, changing the software like this typically doesn't void it. Just keep in mind, games with kernel-level anti-cheat systems (like Fortnite) might not run smoothly since Linux restricts access to the kernel.
Actually, War Thunder works on Linux! Its anti-cheat isn’t kernel-level. You should double-check your facts.
