    I’ve heard Linux gaming is pretty good now with a native steam client and a ton of games that run natively thanks to steamOS

      the ton of games doesn’t run natively, they run well, but through a translation layer (wine/proton)

        To be exact it’s not a translation layer, but a reimplementation of the Windows APIs and ABIs on Linux.

        That’s why there is no performance cost.
