That’s disingenius towards people who want to play and have problems with it. Lot of popular games, such as some modern Call of Duty games, Fortnite, League of Legends (recently), Destiny 2, PUBG, Siege just to name a few. These are some of the most played games on PC and its even more of a problem if you can’t play with your friends (I know what I’m talking about, because I’m on Linux since 2008). And that’s not the only problem. Games are also on other platforms than Steam, which adds to the complexity too or do not work, especially on Deck.
And that is only the gaming side itself. There are other things attached to gaming which are not fully resolved as a 1:1 replacement without hassle, like Discord in example, which is widely used by players and is popular. And other things like driver support from Nvidia (which gets better now, but Wayland is still not perfectly supported) with feature parity over their software. Let’s not forget about everything else attached to it like modding, which is a big part for some.
Gaming on Linux is still a huge problem for some. There is no denying it. But like with the other things listed, its some sacrifice I personally going to make and accept limitations. And you should not hide that, otherwise you may disappoint people.
