I just switched from Windows to Linux a few weeks ago. Not sure about a replacement for visual studio, but I haven’t had an issue finding an open source application to do anything I did in windows. As for gaming, it works way better than I expected it to, but it’s still not as good overall IMHO. Some games run better without all the bloat of Windows 11, other games run way worse because they aren’t optimized in Linux, it’s been a bit of a crapshoot. For remote desktop, I use the thincast client to connect to other machines, and XRDP on my VMs. Thincast and xrdp work together better than AVD and the Windows App, by a longshot.
