there is a single game i can think of that straight up refuses to run under wine for actual technical reasons and that’s gnoll hack because it apparently uses some extremely specific parts of the .net library that wine can’t do

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

i just use obsidian tbh, more fully featured and customizable

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

except all the links in the article to the evidence

actual clown behavior

yes

tape load times were a good excuse for a tea break

the download speeds being good now is kinda cancelled out by a lot of games being ridiculously huge now though
