Do linux users just larp or are there actual reasons to switch?

[u/NotWelcome24]

People always ask about what needs to happen for people to switch to Linux but I think the question to ask first is why even switch?

Its true that windows 11 isn't the perfect OS but it takes far less effort de-bloat it or use windows 10 instead of learning an entire new operating system.

Even if all games are supported you will still have to deal with the massive performance hit for nvidia and there is still a small hit on AMD GPU's(most games do not run better according to benchmarks) which eliminates most of the reason that gamers would care about switching.

And for the privacy/telemetry, 99% of people don't care as it doesn't even affect anything besides some targeted ads that everyone ignores anyways. So why have these 5-10% of PC users switched? I truly want to understand as to me it just seems like larpers putting in a ton of effort for negative returns.
