Oof, I hear ya there. At least in my case I pretty much only play older games from GOG, usually in a virtual machine, so no Steam for me.

I did however go out of my way to download and compile the source code for Descent 1 and 2 directly on Linux, that was fun figuring out how to compile LOL!

Good luck with your Steam library though. If it was me, I'd test Linux out in a virtual machine first so you can test out copying your games over without outright wiping Windows first.
