I made the jump two years ago. I started with a 512GB SATA SSD with Windows and then my main drive on Linux.
There aren't any games I play regularly that don't "just work" on Linux, but I also get that can depend on the person. I hope you can get there one day.
Until then....maybe dual boot?
I am dual booting Artix and Win 11, and solely gamed on Linux for 2 years before getting into a bunch of games that don't run there, which eventually pushed me to dual boot Win 11.
I'd rather not touch Windows at all though and just hate it any time I have to use it for any reason other than gaming. The flip side is I hated gaming on Linux when I had to use it to play incompatible games.
I'll most likely just wait until my favorite games run on there and move for good. Maybe go for a Steam Deck then too. But RN attempting to go back to gaming on Linux feels like a potential time/money sink for non optimal results, which doesn't make sense when I already have a working setup.
It's always interesting seeing the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I'd have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.
