The PC Gamer article's title also says "upgrade or". That's a heck of a detail to editorialize out of the title.
From the Mozilla post it cites:
I agree switching to Linux is the better option. I want to try Bazzite.
Bazzite's excellent, just be aware going in that it's an immutible distro and some stuff may be different than you're used to.
It will be different anyway, as it is a completely different operating system that has nothing in common with windows.
Windows is mutable. That’s likely what they are referring to.
Except it will prevent you from mutating many of its system files. I mean it's not a good argument for a former Windows user, unless they get a sudden urge to tinker with all possible system files on Linux (which is possible to do on immutable systems in one way or another, but it's much harder and not as straightforward)
True, but a lot of Linux help and guides are based around normal distros where they won't work
