    This is a case of you having some very specific requirements that can only be met in a certain way, that being Windows in this case. Whether or not a switch makes sense depends on how important those requirements are to you. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

    I personally found the ability to override a game's rendering settings to only be worth it in very few cases but that's me. But if you use it a lot then you use it a lot.

    As for AI upscaling, my main issue there is that Nvidia chose a name so generic that it's hard to google. And then they made a second unrelated feature with a very similar name.

    There is AI video upscaling for Linux but it probably doesn't work quite the same way Nvidia's offering does. That might be a problem or it might not; I admittedly only invested a minute to look it up so I don't have any details.

    The same applies to SDR-to-HDR. There seems to be something but it probably doesn't work like what you currently use.

    So in the end you'll have to decide whether you'd be more annoyed by not having those features or by having to use whatever zany shit Microsoft come up with. Not a great decision but that's life.

    I personally might have stuck with Windows longer on my desktop if my 4080 hadn't turned out to be wonky and Nvidia's driver hadn't turned out to be so capricious that I had to spend two months ruling out plausible error causes. That drove me back to AMD, which made the switch easy. But again, that's me and not you.
