If you are invested in Windows software… don’t run Linux. Being able to run Windows software is like a “patch” to get you by until you find a Linux equivalent. Pretending you can have your cake and eat it too will just leave you disappointed.
Linux has amazing software… but in most cases it feels very different from Windows. If you learn why it is different then you may start to appreciate Linux for what it gives you rather than what it takes from you.

im not invested no. all of software i use is generic and can be replaced by linux apps easily. what i really want to work is my browser (brave) and my pirated games. so what will i gain or lose with linux?

That use-case IMO, you’ll loose absolutely nothing. Literally any game ever runs on Proton by now, unless the developer deliberately disables that, see Bungie and “anti-cheat” rootkits.
