I'm American and switched to all that except ksuite over a decade ago. Started with linux back in '95 with Slackware.
I suggest you fully switch to Linux, and use QEMU to host Windows 10. Fire that up when necessary. Most windows software including games can be run in linux with Wine/Proton - no Windows needed.
Best to have 32G RAM, for flexibility.
Once you get comfortable, set up your own cloud. The simple hands-off choice is Synology, but there are good FOSS options. Set up a personal vpn secured with a certificate and a domain name, and you have your cloud wherever you need it.
I use OpenVPN and activate it briefly when i need something on my NAS, then disconnect. Joplin via WebDAV works well with this setup, as do shared volumes.
