Out of like 1000 games I can play about 997 on linux, you'll probably be fine on linux even gaming now

I don't understand Linux, but gaming on my steam deck is amazing and occasionally runs games better than my much more powerful windows computer.

Certain things do run better on Linux. So if a game heavily relies on one of those things, it’ll run better. But there’s still a lot of game engine stuff that is experimental or just plain non-functional on Linux, so the games that utilize those are basically unplayable.

Until fairly recently, things like Ray tracing and DLSS were windows-only, because they almost universally used DirectX, which is a windows API.
