Personal experience tells me that it's... interesting. It's what you would expect out of ANY Linux distro thing is it can be a bit finicky when it comes to day to day operations. Overall only way to know how it feels to you is for YOU to try it out.

From trying it for a bit, it's not bad. Easier to get started on games than most other distros anyway.

Other than that.... Windows keys are like 5$ on the greymarket / ebay. Save yourself the hassle if you can.

Is it scummy ? Sure.
Legal ? Eeeh, debatable.
Does it work ? Usually, yeah. Worst case it's $5 and you can still refund it easily through paypal if on ebay.

Is it better than having to learn Linux and go through the pain of getting your favorite DRM riddled games to work on it? Definitely.

As a side note, sometimes, old Windows 7 or 8 keys can also activate Windows 10, just enter the key AFTER it's installed, not during.
