not for me it isn't.
My views on gaming on linux summarize to "50% of the time, linux works every single time." You'll eventually run into a game with kernel anti-cheat or some bs and be forced to use windows, and that trend just keeps becoming more common.
The best solution is just to have 2 drives, one for gaming (with windows) and one for whatever else (with your linux distro of preference), otherwise you'll just lose hair endlessly tinkering to be able to run some games that work out of the box for windows.
sure.. certain games like bf6 and whatever won't run on linux by design. But for me those very few games that absolutely won't run on linux do not outweigh the security and peace of mind of running linux. So that still makes linux the better gaming OS.
To each their own, other than the initial time investment setting up 2 drives with different OS, i still think it will save OP a lot of time and headaches in the long run.
