I have been very pleasantly shocked lately with the Linux support for gaming. Yes it is not at all up to par with Windows for the latest and greatest, but there is so much more Linux native content then ever before.
Steam support is just amazing and their work on Proton has been game changing! I actually had space pirate invaders playing extremely well via proton though an HTC Vive headset. I was floored that it even loaded, much less had a solid VR experience.
Gaming on Linux has so dramatically changed since I started with Linux in high school. Fully agreed its not at the level of Windows and sure you probably wont ever see Warzone running on it, but for the kind of gaming I have time for these days (Factorio, Civ 6, Minecraft, Satisfactory, etc.) it is an amazingly good experience.
My thanks to all the incredible work put into it by companies like Steam and groups like Wine. I can now play the games I have time for without having to leave my dev environment.
