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.

Hardware support is pretty damn good now, but may require some research beforehand to ensure you get a system with no driver gotchas. Honestly, I have more trouble with driver setup on Windows than on Linux these days. That said, I won’t buy a computer that comes with any incompatibilities, so your experience may vary.
Gaming is easy on Linux now (assuming your system is set up properly) thanks to Steam’s Linux compatibility layer, which is built with WINE. They also have it on the Steam Deck, so you’ve actually probably used it already, you just didn’t know.
The only sticking point is Clip Studio Paint. Apparently it can be set up using WINE, but it’s not going to be as good as a native experience. Or at least, that would be my guess.
Maybe OP should try Krita. From what I read on the CSP site, Krita has everything CSP has and then some: comic module, manga module, animations module, hundreds of brushes and effects,… the works. It also works fine with all the main art hardware. XP Pen even sponsors on of the contributors and their tablets work flawlessly out of the box.
Eidt: Krita also works in Windows so OP can try it before making up their mind.
(and Android, which is what I tried it on. Was pretty good)
I’ve tried Krita, and liked it, but I prefer the workflow of CSP and don’t want to lose that ;_;
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?
