Keeping work separate from entertainment is one better option. But if you have to have Linux and some casual gaming in one place, then I would stick to Lutris or Proton or some other easy to use wrapper.

Or install less annoying edition of Windows like LTSC, configure Unified Write Filter or similar feature to keep it under control and try to live with latest WSL as your Linux. And just buying a console is another option, if not for a general chip shortage it would be a very good time to do it.
