Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

Nah, it doesn't work because the developer doesn't want it to. EAC works really well on Linux, the developer just has to enable it, which takes literally less than 10 seconds.

That's mostly true, but they also need to support it, which is a completely different ball of wax which involves QA testing, training support people, etc, perhaps with some dev work to ensure the experience is decent. It's extra work, and many devs don't want to deal with it.

Sometimes no support is better than poor support from a business perspective.
