On my old GTX 1050ti, I was able to play Overwatch through Wine at 120fps (albeit barely). My 3070ti drives the same 1440p@144hz display pretty comfortably, the only thing you'll really be missing on Linux is HDR support. Getting Linux to work right, on the other hand, is a bit of a different story. It's a painless process on Intel and AMD-based GPUs, but Nvidia drivers are still not as good as they could be. Phoronix actually did a really interesting comparison recently that examines the performance you lose: https://www.phoronix.com/review/wayland-nv-amd-2023 https://www.phoronix.com/review/wayland-nv-amd-2023 So, overall I recommend it. Use Wayland if you want to take your frame timings seriously, and you probably won't be super disappointed. You might not instantly delete Windows, but it's nice to have options.
