For gaming on Linux the only major release I can think of that I feel like I'm missing out on running exclusively Linux on my PC is Marathon, and that's not a Linux/WINE problem but that Bungie hates FOSS and people who use it. The new Resident Evil, Toxic Commando, Nioh 3, even MH all run as expected on my hardware.
Assuming we can get RAM and video cards in a couple years, Anti-cheat will be the next big hurdle for Linux, and I dunno if multiplayer is worth whatever that solution looks like if it's giving kernel level access to a game studio and their publisher that have no business with that kind of access.
Marvel Rivals,Overwatch, Helldivers 2, Arc Raiders all run without trouble on Linux. Its totally possible to focus heavy on multiplayer games while being on Linux these days which is pretty cool. Im curious about Marathon but not enough to drop Linux for it.
