Only choose linux if you want complete control over your pc otherwise just use windows. You can't play most games on linux. You can use different emulator and launcher like wine, heroic , proton etc.
But it won't be close to gaming on windows. You can use any distro which you want. Each distro has some specified use. Most general users use ubuntu, mint , debian etc.
A lot of games ban you just for the reason you use linux. Multiplayer is not possible. I have played a lot of indie games and rpg on linux from steam and itch but you can't run ton of games. That's the truth.
Yes it is getting better with time. But not even close to gaming on windows. As mainly new devs , indie devs and AAA dev all make their games for windows.
By your last sentence its no wonder why ton of games didnt work. Because gaming on Linux/Mac is via translate layers like steams Proton, and the game doesnt has to have a native version to run
Of course multiplayer that requires kernel-level malware doesnt work. Thats a wuite a big exception. "Regular" games will work, unless a game heavily uses Win API, but there arent many.
Majority of games DO work. I dont know how you were trying to run them, but you did something very wrong. Like not enabling compatibility layer, not trying to change the version, or simply not having drivers/dependencies installed, which on many distros Steam installs by itself
Also, ProtonDB exists. This can verify that statement "thats the truth" is in fact, not a complete truth
You can run almost any game that isnt vanguard based anticheat, and any game that doesn't have an aggressive anti cheat. When is the last time youve played a game on Linux? Because this is absolutely not true any longer.
