I went full Linux a few months ago and haven't looked back. Steam has superb support for basically everything I could want to play -- in some cases I feel like Linux actually performs better than Windows on the same hardware. I really appreciate the huge investment Valve made into making Linux gaming work.
I'm in the process of swapping over now. Certainly some speed bumps after many years of Windows, but it's been kind of fun.
There are a few games I've hit that I can't play, but that why I'm dual booting for the near future. Linux as the daily driver and then back to windows when I have to.
Yeah a lot of games with really strong anti-piracy just don't work at all. I was shocked that Roblox was one of the few ones that just wouldn't make the jump, for example, Grapejuice notwithstanding.
Pro tip: You don’t have to deal with anti piracy if you pirate it.
Oh the beautiful irony
Except Roblox is currently working on providing unofficial support to Wine (and by extension Roblox). See the post from one of their employee: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/why-did-roblox-stop-supporting-linux-users (Need to be logged in)
