I've been gaming soley on linux since 2020 or 2021.
Yeah, its definitely ready now, most straggler games are basically massively overproduced and massively MTX exploitative team based shooters using kernel level anti cheat that are designed for children with mom's credit card.
So what you are saying is "no, linux doesn't let you play the games you want to play, especially the extremely popular ones".
You can play most of the games you want to play, with the main caveats being VR and anti-cheat. If it's SP and on a regular screen, it'll probably work.
