Great article and also outlines why I'm not switching today. I already have to deal with plenty of shit during my work hours, gaming is a way for me to relax and wind down. I don't want to think or deal with a sub optimal gaming experience, to then have to bug fix in my spare time.
You can say all the negative stuff you want about Windows, but it does run games well. The moment I can expect to have the same experience on Linux, I will switch, it's that simple.

Concludes that it works, but it's not quite there yet. And looking at other replies here, it's even more challenging if you want to play competitive multiplayer games that use anti cheat software. Which are games I still enjoy to play.
