I mean, you need to set up a bit of things, but outside of game developers being fucking assholes and not allowing ACs on linux, linux has made very good progress in just a few years. I find myself barely booting to windows 10 right now.
If you can't figure out how to install steam and do some clicks... Linux gaming is very easy nowadays.
Thing is that not everyone plays every game on steam, and even some on steam require specific arguments that the average user won't be bothered to search, even if it's quick.
Most of the stuff works out of box, nowadays. The average user would never use linux anyway and if someone has taken the effort to install an alternative operating system, I guess that they can at least google.
Well, most is a stretch. Don't get me wrong I myself don't have many games which I can't play on arch, but there is a good chunk out there, especially with AC that cannot be played on linux yet.
All this to say that in the future linux will probably be able to reach the level of windows (when it comes to gaming), but not right now. It doesn't help that I prefer spending 1 hour trying to find out how to boot some bronze rated game on proton instead of opening windows because I fucking hate it.
