I was running Bazzite for several months before I switched back to Windows. Unfortunately for me I have a broadcom wifi adapter, it kept disconnecting every 10-15 minutes, and that doesn't bode well for gaming. Outside of that I really enjoyed using it! At least my steamdeck counts towards usage of Linux...
Edit: also steam having to download pre-cached shaders almost every time I started up my computer was kind of annoying. I know you can disable that, but then you're leaving performance on the table iirc.
You know you can buy a USB wifi adapter and still use Linux or at least double boot.
Ooh I know, but there's also a few games here and there where anti-cheat doesn't work on Linux. Yes I know dual-boot like you said but I'm too lazy to switch between both.
