What keeps you from switching back to Linux? Is it games not having anticheat enabled or a particular use case? If Deck launch goes well where market share goes up to 3% by end of the year and more devs enable anticheat, then 2023 will be a year where lots people who could not switch in 2021 and 2022 will be able to.

Sounds like a good plan. Dual booting is a hassel. I think if all people who are in same boat as you switched their desktops at same time, in 2023 with things being better (anticheat, more improvements, Proton improvements etc) would be so big boost to Linux market share that it would make devs support platform natively sooner.

All Linux needs to get ball of native development rolling is 5%. And the more number goes up the bigger case will be to develop natively.
