Been using Linux fulltime since the Win10 licensing servers were taken offline and I had a fustercluck situation with recovery. It's been perfect, and a lot faster: 90%+ via Steam means no effort, and the rest through Heroic Launcher (and before that Lutris).

Unless you're a fan of one of the very few games with anticheat that actively blocks Linux (Tarkov? etc), there is a way.

YMMV, etc, etc. You do you. ☺️
