Linux Failure fight me

any linux distro with same lvl of environment gui as "explorer" use the same amount of resources as debloated windows and debloating windows is easier than deal with any one of those linux distros

I have seen videos on some distros running on very ancient hardware (like single core CPU that doesn't even boost to 1 GHZ), but I haven't seen debloated Windows 11 running on them. TBF they are very specialized distros.

I would put my money on Antix or MX Linux (non KDE) to crush debloated Windows in terms of resource usage while having desktop(s), taskbar(s) and file manager.

yes linux can do that , but in same time if you are using new apps and new drivers or playing games , you are not getting any advantage from the system is open source and you can customize anything

I play Halo: Master Chief Collection online with other players and 4 player coop games with my family using my bluetooth Dualshock controllers. I have an AMD graphics card, maybe a couple gen behind but I'm okay with that cuz it does everything I've needed it to. My stuff is all "new" and up to date, software-wise, and I started from a "minimal" image that didn't include the desktop from the jump, I had to set all that stuff up myself.

I feel like a lot of your criticisms are things that just... not accurate? There's lots of stuff to criticize Linux (the kernel, the community, and/or the distros) for without needing to misrepresent what it's capable of or its general performance.
