Lunduke is not credible whatsoever. Not to mention a straight up terrible person.
Terrible person as in?

Linux has some lacks as any other OS, because of this depends of the userneeds if you like it or not. For gamers and for some profesionals who need a specific or official soft, Linux certainly sucks. A perfect OS for all user and needs don’t exist.
Linux gaming is not what it used to be. More or less everything now works as good as Windows, sometimes even better (see Elden Ring).
Yes, I know that there are more and more games also for Linux (more than for Mac currently), but 80% of the games are exclusively Windows and OpenSource games have only managed to acquire a certain quality in recent years outside of sidescrollers and vintage shooters. Besides, it does not remove the other limitation regarding official administration applications or certain professional software that does not exist in Linux. I know that Linux is superior to Windows in many aspects, but it lacks the broad spectrum of software that Windows has, which also has a broader FOSS catalog than Linux, which is also logical, first because Linux is not a mainstream OS and also with dozens of different distros, not always very compatible with each other. As I said, it doesn’t rain to everyone’s liking, although I hope that one day Linux manages to unseat Windows as the main OS in the market, since its disadvantages compared to Windows are only because of this, not technical, but the manufacturers make software to the most used OS, of course.
Just curious, have you used Wine before? This comment comes off as really ignorant as to just how compatible Wine really is. You can run a lot of the major proprietary tools like Photoshop on Linux with ease.
Yes i’ve used Wine and Play on Linux, but the results are not so good and a lot of games even works with Wine, emulator soft for games with high min sys specs never is a good alternative. In other soft it can be a solution, but better for those wich want or need Windows is to use it in dual boot.
Wine is Not an Emulator. In some cases it even gives better performance than windows (especially if you use proton, the fork from valve).
Wine provides its own versions of various Window system DLLs. Wine also has the ability to load native Windows DLLs. Attempting to call into the Windows kernel directly is unsupported. You can supply your own versions of the DLLs, which may be enough for certain Windows games or software, but not all, and rarely better than in Windows itself. What if it is true that games that have versions for Linux, have a better performance than the Windows versions in Windows. But if you use the version of Windows in Linux with Wine, you will see that the performance is far from what it has in Windows itself , or the Linux version directly. Windows applications need Wine libraries to work and Wine cannot replace all of them optimally, so it is questionable that they work with the ‘imitation’ Wine libraries than with the original Windows DLLs, at least not in current complex games , without resorting to the original licensed DLLs.

Wine/DXVK (aka Proton) now runs native Windows games very well. We don’t need native Linux games to say that Linux gaming is a success. I gave the Elden Ring example on purpose. It’s a Windows game, but runs much more smoothly on Linux with Proton than on Windows (thanks to DXKV caching). This is a huge success: an AAA game and one of the biggest hits of 2022, that runs more smoothly on Linux than on Windows.
