You can always do a wipe and go back to Win10 or 11 at any time also.
If you switch over to Linux though you will have to wipe and re-download your Games, as the files will be different for the Linux version of said games.
2) That will vary from game to game. Some games will perform a little worse, some a little better.
3) Can't personally answer too well since I haven't kept up with distros lately.
Anyway, I haven't played the other games, but I have played Fallout: New Vegas and The Witcher 3 flawlessly in Linux with Proton(haven't tried with mods though).
2) Can highly differ per game and if you are comparing Proton and native titles. Some run significantly worse, others significantly better and again others run about the same.
3) Pretty much any install-and-go distro such as Ubuntu, Manjaro, Solus, Linux Mint or Pop!_OS. Pop!_OS will be the easiest to get running on your laptop with Nvidia GPU.
That's one major thing to look at when using such Laptops is which will get along well with the Intel + NVIDIA GPUs so they work as intended.
Usually about the same. In some cases slightly decreased. In other cases it actually improves. Depends on the game.
Take your pick, really. Lots out there. I eventually settled on Kubuntu after some distro hopping.
Each of those games run excellently on Linux via Proton, and Factorio can run native to Linux.
Nvidia refuses to open source their GPU driver or in any meaningful way assist the development of the FOSS Nouveau driver. For this reason Nvidia is generally disliked by the Linux community. Quoting Linus Torvalds head maintainer of Linux "Nvidia is the single worst company we have ever worked with".

Intel and AMD by comparison actively develop and assist the community with the development of in-kernel drivers for their hardware. Their hardware just works on Linux.
EDIT:
Either that or something like Pop!_OS, but I kind of like open source so I would still prefer not using NVIDIA in the future.
If you run Windows games through Proton-GE on Linux you can use FSR on almost any game with almost any hardware. Sidenote; this method is inferiour to games implementing itself since you want the upscaling to be done before the interface is drawn.
For gaming, i recommend POP!_OS because it comes with the fancy special proprietary Nvidia drivers or Manjaro, which is more cutting edge and auto detects and downloads drivers without having to think about it.
Steam runs just like on windows.
Compatability depends on the game.
you can see how good your game runs here: https://www.protondb.com/
and if the performance is decreased. Also depends.
Some in some games, you see no difference like in dota 2.
But especially in games which don't natively support linux, you are giving up some performance. Nothing Major, but you gotta set 1 or 2 slider a bit lower.
I'm no super-advanced office ninja or anything, but the Linux default open source office suite Libreoffice has been perfectly capable for my purposes. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. In fact, I think it's even better than Microsoft Office, ever since Microsoft tried to make Office more "user friendly".
The free software movement was started back in 1984 by Richard Stallman who was a computer scientist at MIT. Back then source code of programs was just shared with no second throught given. But then one day the lab he worked at was gifted a new Xerox printer, a laser printer, it was high-end and cutting edge stuff. They were the first outside of Xerox to own such a machine.
The printers back then were just as horrible as they are now, the stupid thing kept jamming. He wanted to add functionality to it's firmware so it would warn all computer users that the printer was stuck so they could fix it whenever this happened just like he had done with their previous printer.
After asking around he eventually found someone who had access to the source code, upon asking for it he was told; no, the software is closed source, you are not allowed to use our source code for anything. This pissed him off so badly that he started a war on non-free (as-in freedom) software by launching the GNU (Gnu's not Unix) project which aimed to develop a fully free operating system.
After years of work the GNU project had developed all core utilities of their GNU operating system. However they still missed one major component, the kernel. They were working on their own kernel called Hurd, it was hugely complex and progress was slow.
Then Linus Torvalds freed his kernel called Linux which was quickly incorporated in to the GNU system.
Now there is a controversy if it's called Linux of GNU/Linux.
Hurd is still under development, it might be done in ~20 years.
There is no snag, it was and still is just a bunch of nerds developing cool software in their free time.
The closest thing to a snag would be that these projects need their users to survive. So if you like a piece of software support it, there are many ways to do so; report bugs, donate, help coding it, write documentation, create artwork, provide feedback etc..
