Don't know what games you are playing, but I game myself quite heavily and doing it exclusively on Linux. Steam proton has changed a lot of things for Linux gaming. Only issues are with anti cheat. So if you are playing single player you are good to go. Multiplayer can be difficult, it depends on the game. I have 200 hours on Apex in Linux.
I switched back to windows for gaming because NVidia drivers are terrible and I had so many issues with many game that no amount of googling and debugging could fix. Linux also doesn't have HDR support yet (it's in the work though)
I really prefer Linux, but I had so many non trivial issues. I know this isn't the same experience for everyone, but considering I do gaming 95% of the time on my personal PC, I got fed up of hitting a wall for the games I wanted to play.
I will buy an AMD gpu when I will switch so that hopefully the open sourced drivers will fix my issues.
I still daily drive linux for work though.
It does have HDR support already though, it's just via GameScope.
Yeah, anti-cheat/multiplayer is the biggest hurdle to go for linux gaming, as well as VR. They're the two things that continue to hold my kids in Windows, for now. I hope that someday they're remedied and I can move them into Linux systems for gaming, but for now, it's just not realistic, sadly.
A lot of anticheat actually works pretty well now, it's super cool how much Valve continues to push Proton development forward
