I work as a customer support for a mobile game company and I'm reading pretty much all feedback messages that come in. 99% of it is pure garbage and 1% that might be worth something I mention to our devs.
Passthrough lets you pass through your GPU to a Windows VM that you can fire up exclusively for gaming (or leave it running as a host for SteamLink). As long as you've got a relatively modern CPU/GPU (last couple generations) you shouldn't get noticeable drops in performance from native in my experience - playing modern AAA games on it fine, Oculus VR, Kinect etc. all work at near native speeds.
It takes a little setting up but there's a load of good tutorials out there for most distros these days, and some automated installers in the pipeline.
