Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?

Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

I actually love the steam deck, but there are some favs that I can't play due to anti cheat, plus I like playing a lot of older titles on GoG. Do those work just as well?

Depends on the title and the nature of the anti-cheat code. If it basically acts as a system-level rootkit, then you may be out of luck.

I'd check the big community-driven games database that keeps track of compatible games here: https://www.protondb.com/

In some cases, minor tweaks and settings changes will make games work fine, even if they're not officially supported.

As for GoG games, there's Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher, both of which can use Steam's compatibility layer for running Windows-only GoG games. Again, there may be tweaks involved and your mileage may vary, but the communities for both are extremely helpful.
