All you have to do is check this website to check support quality for your games https://www.protondb.com/, and then decide if you want to quit. I think you don’t realize how low effort it is now, not more effort that escaping from Microsoft’s waves of enshitification.
If you choose a gaming oriented distribution like Pop OS and your game is well supported according to protondb, then there’s no manual set up, it’s as much click and play as Windows.
Unfortunately that wasnt the case when i ran cs2. It ran worse than windows. Maybe if i had amd graphics it would have been a different story as i hear positive things with amd and Linux
AMD graphic has good open source drivers that are usually included by default, for Nvidia you usually have to opt-in their proprietary drivers, but gaming oriented distributions like Pop should suggest it on the installer.

Its more low effort (relatively low effort) for people who are already accustomed to linux and the puzzle that is to properly set up for gaming.
The issue im referring to is how people downplay linux need for manual set up.
