I had this mindset for about 2 decades, from when I first played around in OpenSUSE and Compiz back in 2005 up to 2024 when I finally switched because of Windows 10 being put out to pasture by Microsoft. But since I'm now in my early 40s and no longer play competitive games as I used to 15 years ago, I've had zero problems with Linux and gaming.
So I totally understand your mindset as I too once thought the same.
Problem with waiting is of course that developers don't favor linux due to lack of people on linux playing game, so it's a vicious circle:
I hope you enjoy linux when you're ready.
I switched in my 20s when I stopped caring about competitive games, and I'm always surprised at how little effort it is to do the things I want to do.
To be fair, I did find a few very early windows 98/XP'ish games or so hard to get going. There was a period where developers tailored the games very specifically for the OS. But they're fairly rare.
That's tricky on Windows too, and generally you need a compatibility layer anyway (e.g. dosbox).
This post accurately described my life. High five brother.
Hell yeah! ✋
