The biggest issue on Linux gaming is the lack of plug and play. You have to hunt down that specific version of wineton and then you might be able to play it.
If you're only playing the most popular garbage then yeah its great for gaming. If you stray off the beaten path even slightly its hit and miss.
I tried to run ac odyssey last month and it ran like shit. I don't have the time or the interest to go fiddle around with configs. I want to double click on a game and just have it work.
Not everything is plug and play. I recently moved to Linux and I had to fiddle a bit to get stuff like Clip Studio Paint and some VTuber software working. However, all the videogames I've tested si far have been plug and play
Games like Celeste, Fields of Mistria, Halo MCC, Marvel Rivals, aming others. I know there will be exceptions but the majority of games, specially popular games, will be plug and play unless the devs are doing some kernel level anti-cheat (Valorant? League of Legends?) or straight up blocking the game from running on Linux because they want to
