You can do with linux, what you are already doing with W10.
The switch will be a lot of work, but keeping it working doesn’t have to be.
I don’t have my system set to auto-update. That way, if it worked yesterday, nothing that might change that will have happened since.
Once you have your install working how you want, nothing has to change. Linux doesn’t force updates on you, and if you don’t stay connected to the internet, you don’t need to worry about security vulnerabilities needing updates that fix them, either.
Even better, with filesystem snapshots (which you can set up using timeshift if on btrfs), if you do update and run into issues, you can go back to exactly the way the operating system was before the update. Or weeks and even months earlier.
This way, I don’t need to tweak and fix my system. If an update breaks something, I don’t fix it. I hit undo. And if I just want to get to gaming, I just skip updating that evening.
Update when and if you feel like it.
I just want to load my games and play and not have to fiddle with compatibility or making it work.
Depending on what you play, that is pretty much how it works today. Install steam/heroic. Log in. Download games. Hit the play button.
