It’s still a pretty solid excuse for many - but once you make the switch and stick to games that actually run on Linux, it kind of starts running on its own as recent numbers show.
these days, that’s practically everything. last game I tried that didn’t work was Rust, and that was a few years ago. these days, I don’t even check ProtonDB to see if a game works, I just assume it does.
Gaming was always one of the main excuses for average person to avoid Linux.
Not that gaming was not possible before Proton, but it’s finally zero effort (mostly, it’s not like Windows gaming is without issues either).

Sure, but mostly if you play games with incredibly invasive anti-cheats… which I wouldn’t want to install on Windows too anyway.
