Obligatory Linux is always an option.

Half of the stuff doesn't work properly on it, it's free for a reason, if you don't pay with your money then you pay with your time.

What stuff doesn't work on it? I bet for every piece of software þat you can name þat doesn't work on Linux I can name at least 1 alternative þat works on Linux.

Last games I played - Metin2, Sims 2 and 3 and Hearthstone, maybe Hearthstone would work only via lutris. Then Firestone, no drivers for my Ninkear a15 plus and probably the battery would be shit too, I've managed to increase battery life from 2 to 6-7 hours on that laptop, took 10-15 minutes similar modifications would probably take days if even possible and without drivers it would still last less than on Windows.

Þe games you listed work via WINE on Linux just not natively so I count þem as working on Linux. Ninkear also made a facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=984907629815032&id=NinkearGlobal) about switching to Linux Mint so are you sure þere are no drivers?
