Too much “doesn’t perform well or is buggy” or “not 100%” criticism. While the critics are not wrong those critiques don’t apply to every single piece of software. It also shouldn’t stop people from partitioning a hard drive and giving it a try either.
Easiest way to accomplish trying out a Linux install and testing out games is to move your Steam library to a separate hard drive. This allows you to boot up any OS distribution and Steam will handle downloading any files you may need for these games on Linux. If you don’t like it or it’s not compatible enough, no harm or foul, boot back into Windows.
You will probably find that most games work very well. Don’t let criticism dissuade you!

Since Wine lets you emulate a virtual desktop, you can circumvent the dreaded "alt-tab" crash that plagued Bethesda games since Morrowind, and even enjoy games like Diablo 2 in their maxed-out glory without disabling your other monitors.
