Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

I went full Linux almost 3 years ago. Games worked very well when I first switched but it's improved significantly in performance and QoL since then. If your interested in gaming on Linux, I wouldn't wait for desktop steamOS, just get a distro and try it. I like Arch, but it's definitely not for everyone, especially if you're not into tinkering although even archinstall makes getting setup significantly easier now.
