    If Windows somehow fucks it up so much that I can play the majority of games in Linux on Steam

    you pretty much can outside of certain multiplayer-only games with kernel level anti-cheat

    I suppose linux graphic drivers and performance are still an issue

    graphics drivers yes, but only really on nvidia and only really on newer cards
    in my experience performance has been mostly on-par or better under linux than windows, including many “windows only” games through wine/proton

      I’m thinking very new AAA releases like GTA6, Buldurs Gate 3, Hollow Knight, as well as minor developers that may not have linux releases. Though I acknowledge the difficulty of creating a linux version is getting smaller.

        they don’t need a dedicated linux release, they work fine through proton, which is built into steam
        i can personally vouch that baldurs gate 3 runs very well on my linux machine

        this is a good website to check if the games you care about will work well
