I think that gamers can sacrifice a bunch of fps if it comes to that, but they should know why, and they should have an otherwise working game. If everything gets to work on a SteamDeck, that would be a huge booster in confidence. This one platform is a flagship of linux gaming not because it's better, but because it's a frame of reference we can use on other setups and distros.
Some games get better FPS since Linux runs with much less overhead. Mileage may vary, but a few games I play run better so far.
