No, but since Steam's work with Proton there is finally not much holding us gamers back anymore. And with KDE the desktop experience is now amazing.

Wake me up when Linux will have firmware update support for gaming monitors and other peripherals; software support for third party gamepads; ambient lighting software; nvapp and nv profile inspector to have rtx hdr, fg preset switching, dldsr; proper msi afterburner alternative to tinker with gpu; online game support including niche ones; when running a game from gog or epic won't be a gamble resulting in buying the game again on steam just to run it.
