Pretty much this. If you have bought games from GOG or Epic, you can use Heroic Launcher to install and play them.
There has been some talking that Microsoft might remove third-party applications, like anti-cheats, away from the kernel. If that happens some day, it would probably help Linux gamers with some of those multiplayer games. But, there are already many multiplayer games that work just fine on Linux.

This doesn’t give a complete answer, but according to Steam’s Hardware and Software Survey, 31% of Steam’s Linux users are using “SteamOS Holo”. It’s the name of SteamOS 3, used by Steam Decks. 2.57% of Steam users are using some Linux distro.

Modding might not be as easy as on Windows, but for example, Mod Organizer 2 works on Linux. Steam Tinker Launch helps with MO2 installation and usage. Wabbajack also works after some tinkering, but you’ll need to search the Internet to figure out how to get it working.
I have recently played Fallout: New Vegas with Viva New Vegas modlist and Skyrim with Nordic Souls modlist under Linux. Took some tinkering to get the modding things working, and to figure out where each of the files are located, but other than those, the games worked fine.
Once you go through the pain of getting one modding tool working, you can then use it with other games without the initial hassle.

Let me guess. It’s a rebranded Chinese phone that typically goes for like 50 bucks?
- Comment on First-of-its-kind wind turbine can power multiple households with just one spin of its massive blades: 'It will play a key role' 1 month ago:
I am no expert either. But, as far as I know, the cut-off speed for wind farms is around 25 m/s. I assume that the maximum output is when wind speed is 25 m/s. 10,4 m/s is about 40 % of 25 m/s, which means that this power plant’s average production is about 400 MW.

it will produce 960 megawatts
It will? What if there’s no wind? But still, that’s quite a lot. If it averages at about 40% of maximum capacity, that’s about a 400 MW power plant.

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?
DOGE will make sure it won’t be pulled. They’ll shut down any administration that tries.
This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s
- Comment on How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible? 3 months ago:
Apple actually open sourced Swift language, and it’s available for other operating systems as well: www.swift.org
Xcode is the app you need to use, if you want to submit your app to macOS or iOS App Store. You can build macOS apps with other tools, but you can’t distribute them in the App Store. There are developers who sell their apps through their own websites, or through other marketplaces, such as Steam. And while you can build iOS apps with other tools as well, it’s mostly pointless as you can’t distribute them, because iPhone doesn’t support sideloading. Jailbroken iPhones are an exemption to that.

And would be nice to know if it’s coming to other platforms at the same time, or is it going to be Switch 2 exclusive for some time.

That’s pretty much what their lawyer said. The lawyer said that oil tanker only cares about getting their cargo from point a to point b as quickly as possible, and that they would have no intention of losing their anchor.
