When did you try, and which genres? Out of all the 20+ games that I bought in the last two years, all of them were Gold or Platinum rank on ProtonDB. The only real issues these days are with anti-cheat stuff in competitive multiplayer games.

Every game I play is a competitive multiplayer game.

With which anticheats? BattleEye and EasyAnticheat work pretty well with Proton nowadays, you won't have luck with stuff like Ricochet though.

There are still big games with BE or EAC which either don't launch still, or will sometimes allow you to play offline on Linux but won't allow you to join servers with Proton. Some examples: PUBG, Dead by Daylight, Ubisoft games such as R6 and For Honor, and Destiny 2.

that's deal breaker enough.

linux is close, but it still doesn't have the desktop experience as good as windows by default
