As soon as gaming is mostly flawless and similar or better performance than windows, I’ll be 100% over. Gaming has come so far, all the way into the 2010s the only games on Linux were like Portal, HL, minecraft, and KSP. But it’s still got a little ways to go.
If that’s the only barrier, you should try again. It’s further along than you think. Thanks in large part to the Steam Deck, compatibility is miles better. I have run into 2 games since I switched 1.5 years ago that won’t run - both are EA titles (shocked Pikachu face). That was my reason not to switch too.
I’m well aware of how far out has come, I was a second batch pre-order for the steamdeck. And yes, just in the time it’s been out, Linux gaming has come sooo far. For me, all of my games don’t run seamlessly and as well, some do still just shit themselves, so I still keep a win10 boot drive for gaming. Once major support for win10 ends I think Linux gaming will be even better and my gaming will finally be all Linux.

If you are on amd, that already is the case. On nvidia however things are a lil different, not bad though.
