Linux does not have the Panopticon element that windows has. Linux would be better in that regard. No CoPilot, no fed backdoor, no hardcore telemetry, none of it.
As for playing pirated games, most games you can get working through lutris. Although it does require some amount of research to get some games working, and lutris has some pre-install scripts for a library of games in the program.
If you ARE looking for a distro recommendation, I would suggest CachyOS, as it is basically Arch but easy to install. I would also recommend KDE Plasma for the Desktop Environment, since it is everything I want in windows and much more.

I had to look up “Panopticon”… What a sick metaphor
It’s less of a metaphor and more of a sick form of government. Think Flock AI Cameras or China’s Social Credit system.
