I'm looking to revitalize my old ROG laptop, a G750JW-BBI7N05 from 2013, which can't upgrade to Windows 11. My specs are pretty decent with an Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU, 24GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M graphics card. I have a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD too. I have experience with RHEL and some gaming on a Steam Deck, along with plenty of Windows use. I'd like to know if I can install Linux and still enjoy gaming on it, possibly accessing games from the Play Store or my Steam library. Is that realistic, or should I just keep it as a Windows 10 machine? Any advice would be appreciated!

Honestly, your laptop's specs are better than mine, and I still enjoy playing games on it. Transitioning to Linux for gaming is totally feasible! Just a heads up, I'm not sure how the Play Store will pan out, but Steam is a go. You might want to look at Bazzite.gg for additional game compatibility info!
Yeah, I think sticking with Steam might be the way to go. Appreciate the tips!
