I left several years ago and moved to Windows with WSL. It has worked well for me.

I have tried using Linux as a daily driver but can't. Years ago I used BeOS and then Linux as drivers but my needs expanded.

Issues with Linux... there's software that I need that doesn't have an equivalent that meets my needs on Linux so, I would need to limit my Linux usage to only the other things I need but...

Not all of the games I enjoy from steam work on Linux so at that point. It's Linux only for development.

I need zoom for working with other developers and it is less stable for me on Linux than Windows or Mac.

There's a few minor annoyances with Linux beyond that but...

Some personal software I refuse to move off means no Linux for that.

My favorite video game isn't available for Linux on Steam so, I didn't end up playing games on Linux.

I can do development on Linux except for the zoom problems.

I have Linux machines I can ssh into for doing kernel hacking, otherwise, WSL gives me everything I need for development and I get the rest from the few applications I use on windows.

I find Linux, windows, and macOS all flawed but for me Windows ones are the most acceptable.

I suggest you give Linux a go and see if it works out. Given you mention steam, start by verifying all the games you want are available on Linux.
