I ran a GTX 550ti and everything ran very well for the most part (card was pretty old so prefomance on new games was bad)
gnome is the only one fully dropping x11 as far as I know
Nvidia cards do work on linux, sure they may be a bit more configuring to do compared to a AMD card if it is new, bit it still works.
Lutris? GOG? Steam? Is using the command line really a nuisance for you?
The fact that you did not figure out how to run something, does not mean that it does not run on Linux
Ofc Windows would run it first try, the game is made for it, not like Limix which needs to use Wine and gain more performance in some games even tho its not running on its native platform (Windows).
2- as a consequence, popular distros like Ubuntu and Fedora too. I expect other GUI’s and therefore distros to follow
3- Didn’t mean to imply they don’t, what I meant is that they have issues and will make users jump to other ships.
4, 5 and 6, Lutris and later Steam itself when I was running out of ideas, and yes it does run on Linux as long you can figure out the correct proton/wine version or buy the game from Steam. Point here was that gaming on Linux can be convenient or very annoying, depending on the games you want to play. YMMV
