There is a very, very short list of games that don’t “just work” in linux at this point.
If your daily gaming is nothing but LoL or twitch competitive shooters and you’ve gotta play whatever the trend is, linux won’t work 100% of the time. In basically any other case, it just works for gaming. If you MUST play some kind of competitive shooter, it’s real easy to have a dual boot setup with windows for that game.
If the competitive shooters you want are supported here, there’s no reason to use windows for gaming. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - Right now the biggest pain points are probably Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, Fortnite… aka the games where the teenagers tell you how they fucked your mom. Many, many other titles just work, like The Finals, ARC Raiders, Counter-Strike 2, etc.
Even with some games that do not have anti-cheat support, you can still run the game, you just have to join servers setup for linux that effectively do not have anticheat enabled. I think real flesh and blood admins do a better job anyway.
