Linux gaming has made mind blowing progression thanks to Valve.

If you're using Steam, most games run, zero fiddling needed.

I'm running Void Linux and have no issues running most games. Proton pretty much handles everything. And performance is often better than on Windows these days.

Other platforms are a bit more difficult. There are several apps that take care of the heavy lifting, but a bit more knowledge is required.

Pretty much thrown out every Windows installation and haven't missed them at all.
