That used to be true a few years ago, but now games just works without any tinkering from my experience. Except some online games due to kernel level anti cheats (like Fortnite and Valorant), but I prefer single player games anyway
Yeah I’ve never been big on competitive multiplayer, my Halo days were mostly campaign and due to thats what my friends were playing. So linux being blocked by competitive games is a non issue for me as well
Now you mention it, I have spend so many hours on Windows trying to get the damn game to work. Trying to hide run Windows games on Linux, if it doesn’t work immedietly and I can’t find easy tweaks to fix it then I just assume it doesn’t work on Linux. But when a Windows game doesn’t work on Windows, I will spent hours making it work because I know it should!
I havent gamed on it yet but it is pretty responsive. My specs are nvidia geforce rtx3060 and amd ryzen 7. Also i am using KVM as the hypervisor since it is type 1 which means better performance and safety overall.
In regards to the VM, you can alucate as much ram and cpu power to it to make it performe better if needed (when setting up and you can also adjust it afterwards, at least in virtmanager (KVM) ). And there is an aspect I haven’t really touched but heard that it improved performance which is gpu passthrough.
(I dont really limit processes and stuff, just simple alucation and configuration)
Anti cheat is the biggest obstacle now, can’t overcome that and if you and your friends enjoy playing together on a game that doesn’t support it then you’re SoL. Unfortunately only 75% or so of the games my friend group plays are compatible.

The EAS anti-cheat is on Linux now too, so the small minority of games that require anti-cheat tech on Linux is getting even smaller; it’s heading in the right direction.
But my point is more towards the fact that we’re trying to apply memes to cover 100% of something when it’s really covering 1% of something.
It gets tiring/trolling after a while, especially with it’s repetitiveness.
Why? Bleeding edge has newer packages which are often needed when trying to play some new game. That’s why steam OS is now arch based when it used to be debian based. Too old packages
Yeah I used it as well, but I was missing a couple of dependencies and realized that I have to move the loadorder files around in order for mods to be loaded. Was pretty annoying but it worked in the end.
