I stream the games I play on Linux. Feel free to check out my channel: twitch.tv/SylphWeed
Latest I played through was Horizon: Zero Dawn.

My point is not that you can’t, it’s just that it’s not ideal. I’m not willing to lose performances when it comes to gaming.

Most games I’ve tried run either the same on Linux or sometimes better. One has been worse on Linux, and it wasn’t performance, it just always disconnected from multiplayer after about ten minutes. That was Halo: Master Chief Collection, and there is a fix, I just don’t play it enough to bother.
Playing on Linux is absolutely ideal for me because I work on Linux. I also watch media on Linux. Switching to Windows just to play games would be super annoying. I’m glad that Linux runs games just as well as Windows now. For ten years after I switched, I just didn’t play PC games, because it was too much of a hassle. Since 2018 when Proton came out, it’s not a hassle anymore.
