Ppl tend to sugarcoat Linux to new users, so let me make a reality check: gaming is possible on Linux, but in a limited sense, and it might cost time and sanity.
Some games work natively, some need a workaround, some require you to craft your own solution, and some straight up won't.
The percentages shift, where there's slightly more games working natively or requiring a basic workaround, but the baseline is the same.
