Linux gaming is in a really good place and i say that as a VR and simracing player. My logitech wheel works perfectly after minuscule tinkering. With VR i have here and there some issues getting particular games running. But the vast majority of stuff just works which is pretty damn cool.

With that said Linux is still a learning process for me after a year. A lot stuff is straight up just better than on windows. Other things not so much. Audio over HDMI is flakey with my setup. It just stops working sometimes. Putting my PC to sleep and waking it up again breaks stuff regularly so i just stopped using the sleep function. Lots of other little issues pop up every other week. Sometimes it can be solved by googling for 2 minutes. Other times i needed to take hour long deepdives with the result of not beeing wiser after.

I dont regret the switch one bit. But in these kind of threads on lemmy you could easily walk away with the impression that the switch to Linux is a cakewalk. But it isnt. I was a Windows poweruser for 25 years. I never needed somebody to help me. I could fix my shit all by myself and a bit of googling. With linux a lot of stuff is familiar but for a lot of other stuff you start at square one. It can be exhausting at the beginning. But i say all that to just put you in the right mindset. If you expect a manegeable uphill battle you probably will be positively surprised how easy most of the gaming stuff is. But if you expect to just switch and everything working out without some involvement you will get frustrated sooner than later.
