> Linux on the desktop still doesn't have that

It does have it if all you want to do is develop, browse the web and similar things.

Including windows games into the things it needs to run without hassle is kinda unfair in my opinion, as that's pretty far from what this DE is used for regularly.

I went back to windows on my home pc because off games too, but my work environment with Ubuntu/regolith was significantly less painful to setup then the WSL hassles I had to jump through on windows before.

Sort of. I bought a HP Probook laptop in 2018 and install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which works perfectly except something minor fixed with a kernel update; however when I update to 20.04, sleep is just broken. Every time the machine sleeps it forgets that the keyboard exists. As much as I dislike Microsoft, stuff like that just doesn't happen with Windows.

I'm still suffering with Linux for largely philosophical reasons at this point, but quite frankly if I wasn't such an opinionated nerd I'd just go to a normal Windows machine at this point.
