Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.
I think you are right about the Elgato PCI-e models not working on Linux unfortunately.
In case you are ever in the market for a new capture card in the future:
99.9% of USB capture cards work out of the box. Alternatively, if it has to be PCI-e: Blackmagic provides first-class Linux drivers for their PCI-e cards.
We use some Blackmagic cards for larger projects and for the smaller ones we use Elgato USB capture cards.
