Longtime Windows gamer(, etc) looking to take the plunge, but...is it for me?

I've used Windows pretty much my whole life and even scoffed at devout Linux gamers some 20+ years ago for foregoing what seemed to me then to be the convenience and universality of Windows. I probably knew I was wrong then, too.

I'm not a fan of the direction Windows will be going when they drop support for Windows 10, and my experience using Windows 11 at work has been lackluster. While I'm looking for probably the most "Windows-like" experience I can get with Linux (and am aware that a bunch of options exist for this), I'm mostly concerned about:

- Will all my games run? I have thousands across a half dozen or so platforms (Steam, GOG, Battle.net...), and some of the ones I play the most are older and run in DOSbox.
- Will all of my software work? I use Office a lot for work, but I can just use 365 online and Libre for offline, so that doesn't matter a ton to me. However, I use lots of stuff for productivity and general tomfoolery, from racing pedals and a DDR pad bound to functions in Adobe Captivate to an XBox Kinect set up with Simplode Suite to (admittedly poorly) enable drag-and-drop functionality with my frickin' hands like I'm a wizard or an officer in Minority Report.
- I also use a lot of little "specialty" programs that enable me to create macros and the like - from Macro Commander and my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard (with its specialized software) to AnyCase, which is literally just a program that lets me switch text selections to lowercase/ALLCAPS/dRoPcApS (I actually use this a TON for work). Is doing stuff like this made easier in Linux through functions within the OS?

Regarding Windows programs (games and otherwise), it's my understanding that the answer is WINE, about which I have only a passive understanding.

However, it does seem like not only my background with it but the things I like to do might best be suited for just sticking with Windows. Am I wrong? Is Linux for me?

Open source note taking apps?

Hi. Basically, I’m asking for suggestions. Do you know any good note taking app that works on linux desktop? I’m looking for something that I can use instead of Notion or Obsidian, with some nice to have:

- Open source (that’s the reason I’m not that much into Obsidian, it could disappear tomorrow and I could not replace it with a community maintained fork)
- Markdown based. I’d like to know that I can replace that app for another one when I want, and that’s not possible when they use their own obscure format
- Local. I’m not interested in paying monthly for cloud storage. And actually, I’d prefer to know for certain that nothing leaves my local machine
- Nice UX. I know that using plain text files and vim might do the job, but I’d like something more user friendly and with nice features (Notion, for example, nails it in my opinion)
- Bonus: Can also be used on android (I’m aware this is a though one, and is not a deal breaker)

I know that all those requirements are hard to fulfill and I don’t even know if something like that exists, so I’d appreciate any kind of suggestion. For example, It’d be great if an open source like that exists, but I’m not completely closed to open-source-ish proprietary apps (e.g. licenses not really open but close enough), as long as they are free to use and work on linux.

Hello and good day/night to everyone here. I have kind of a plea: does anybody (anyone at all, as I've been asking this same thing from a lot of people by now, but to no avail thus far) know if there's a standalone version of this exact same skin out there? So that I could download it for Audacious.

Your progress toward a goal directly depends on how fast you're able to put the theory into practice, fail, learn, try again, succeed and iterate.
