Yea I tried to switch half a year ago, and 90% of the games I play were launchable, but not playable because of anti-cheats and stuff. I don't give half a shit about the roughly bajillion assetflips on steam are playable on Linux, I care about the big things, that I play with friends.

I'm not a big online gamer, so I don't really have to mess much with anti cheat stuff. But I wonder if any of the games you want to work will work in a windows VM with a GPU passthrough. You get basically native performance that way, but I think some anti-cheat stuff will still throw a fit even when trying to hide the fact that its running in a VM, so it's not guaranteed to work for 100% of games.

That's what my gaming pc was for a good while.
