If games didn't run on Linux, I wouldn't play games. I did that for years before Steam on Linux was a thing (well, aside from occasional Linux-native games like Minecraft and Factorio, or a game I bothered to get running on WINE). I only booted into Windows when my friends pushed on me hard enough to play something with them.

My computer is for software development first (mostly hobbies) and playing games second. You seem to have different priorities, and that's totally cool too.
