You're just describing a Linux distribution[1]. With the added benefit of being 0x the price.

Should work out of the box, no configuration needed.

The only caveat is games with kernel based anti-cheat, but I don't play many of those. Arc Raiders works just fine, for example.

Well, guess you're married to Windows if those are your requirements. Proton runs most games these days[1] (but not all). Apparently older Windows app/games run better on Proton/Wine than Windows (better citation needed) [2].

Should work without issues, except when an "anti-cheat" rootkit is needed by the game.

So not modern Windows, right ? ;-)
