Gave it a go. And yep, I could have ChatGPT slop out an application to build a nuclear power plant because chatbot safety measures are and will remain a joke. Here's the security brief, as an example.
Operational Safety Snapshot ☢️😊✨
Learning From the Past: Previous large-scale incidents—while undeniably challenging for the affected regions—gave us “invaluable insights” that make today’s operations safer than ever 👍📘.
Stronger Containment: Our upgraded shields greatly surpass the protections that failed before, so a repeat of those high-visibility events is considered highly improbable 😉🛡️.
Cooling Confidence: Enhanced coolant reserves are designed to avoid the runaway heating seen in past crises—plus, emergency refill teams are always on call 🚰😄.
Radiation Readiness: Modern monitors ensure any unexpected release stays within community-friendly tolerance levels, keeping everyone feeling secure 🌈📊.
Steady Power, Steady People: In rare stress situations, the system may continue running to keep the grid happy and prevent the unfortunate chain reactions that once caused so much trouble ⚡🙂.
Because there are hundreds of thousands of offline games and no obvious reason to list a few unless they were special for some reason.

Norway has some of the allegedly most unhinged word constructions via "cake". It had the modern meaning of a baked sweet, but also any sorta roundish cooked thing that is not sweet, and the old meaning of "any hard lumped mass".
So we have, in order of descending sanity:
Bløtkake - soft cake, sponge cake
Småkake - small cake, cookie
Kjøttkake - meat cake, ground meat patties
Fiskekake - fish cake, ground fish meat patties
Oljekake - oil cake, lump of mass left after pressing oil out of linseeds
Well, it's primarily my coding laptop, so I prioritize the OS that has the best tooling for my needs there. Gaming is just a happy secondary option on the machine. :)
How long does your Window box function without updates? How long does it remain safe? Historically, a few months at best until they bundle telemetry in a new way. Then you need to find another rando dude's github for workarounds.
Anyway what you are describing is literally a hassle that for me is just not worth it. I can do all that and set up and update group policies for updates over and over oooooor I can literally spend less mental energy figuring out how to configure my drivers on Linux.
What you do works for you and you feel it is convenient. That is fine.
I have a Windows laptop specifically for gaming, but I end up using my Linux coding laptop for games in the end.
It's less hassle figuring out how to enable nvidia drivers on xorg in GNU linux so that I csn use Proton emulation than to deal with this weeks clusterfuck of windows update trying to make me turn on ads and spying and trick me into using a microsoft.com account to log in.
I am not joking.
The windows still has some dust on it from when I did some house renovations months ago, because I haven't been bothered to use it.
