It's interesting to see how Valve alone changed the landscape when it comes to gaming on linux. For once someone, no matter their motive, put their money where their mouth is and actively contributed towards that effort. I know, they're standing on top of years of effort of the open source community but still, they managed to bring things together and ship a more or less painless experience with Steam. Between Steam supporting linux, contributions to various related open source projects, linux VR support, employing the author and DXVK and streamlining the use of Wine if there is anything as customer loyalty, hey they got it from me! That being said it's not all roses. There are lots of titles are using weird anti-cheat methods that are so intimately integrated with Windows that is unrealistic to expect them to work at some point with Wine, if ever. Unfortunately these titles also tend to be fairly popular so if you're into these competitive games, no luck. On a separate but related note I see lots of people complaining about NVIDIA GPUs. Although personally I've never had a problem with their cards their stance and drivers are problematic at best. I'm fairly certain that a good quality open-source driver for NVIDIA is possible but given how unwilling NVIDIA is to cooperate I wouldn't hold my breath. Seeing how far AMDGPU has come the last years my next GPU won't be NVIDIA (voting with your wallet and all that).
