As a primary Linux user, there are many cases that don’t work. Many kernel level anti cheat (which I would refuse to install on windows anyway), some games have noticeable worse performance (obscure expedition 33 has low average fps and terrible dips on linux, but it’s “OK” on windows for my specific hardware ).
On average, I think Linux is still better, but YMMV depending and what games your want and what HW you have.
I’m an old fart, so I don’t want to play any games with kernel level anti-cheat. I’ve yet to encounter a game that doesn’t work in Linux.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle had some AMD driver issues early on, but I was able to tinker a short term fix until they fixed it. MachineGames’ engine has always been wonky on release.
Kernel level anti cheat is the final obstacle for Linux gaming, I think. Its really the only thing that categorically does not work, so if those are the games you want to play you really are fucked.
