I think you would be suprised how solid linux gaming is by now. I play Helldivers 2 with my son - One windows machine, one Ubuntu. No issues with anti-cheat so far. Only issue, with linux gaming, at the moment is some MS published games with wonky networking code (like AoE4). I see no performance dip at all on proton vs win-native.
