Bro, I'm so fucking close to removing Microsoft from my life
From a gaming perspective: Get a new drive (NVMe/whatever your OS is on), drop Nobara on it, be done, have the option to switch back without a hassle if you need it for some special tasks or games.
And after 6 months find out that you never actually did that so delete windows/migrate it into a VM and enjoy the extra game drive you won.
That's at least what worked for 90% of my friends meanwhile.
The only person I know who routinely uses windows is myself- and I only do so,because I need certain MS Office stuff that I need for work. (And no,libre or Softmaker,etc. are sadly not a replacement for that. )
After my experience with nobara blowing up after a major update I'd probably go for bazzite instead
Bazzite is amazing, best distro I've used. It works perfectly as a gaming focused distro. I've been rocking it for a year now without issue.
