That is today. Buy any linux PC from any number of vendors. Download KSP and play. Download the steam client and play Factorio. Or install wine/proton and play Subnautica.
My brother owns an Xbox. He wants to play star citizen but cannot on xbox. In fact there are thousands of games that don't run on xbox. That doesn't mean that xbox isn't a fully-fledged gaming device.

True, I guess it will be up to the gaming community as to whether Linux needs PC/Windows parity in order to be worth using or whether it can be considered its own platform which is worthwhile despite not having any of the games from the links in my above post.
