A lot of “modern” gaming is online multiplayer though, and while I am an exclusive Linux gamer, I have friends that are not, and it is indeed problematic from time to time to find games that work without issues on both sides.
IMHO, I think what LTT did here was target group appropriate. For most of the “gamers” Linux is indeed not a full replacement and will probably never be… just like a console isn’t a 1:1 replacement for a Windows PC either. They are just different systems with different objectives.
I think it’s fair to say that a gamer should plan on running windows on their main gaming PC. OTOH, if you have other computers that are mostly for other things and a little gaming on the side, linux is a great option.
I’ve got a high test gaming laptop with an RTX graphics chip, it makes no sense to make my life harder by moving to linux on here and trying to run my applications and games on it. However, I’ve got a number of laptops with older specs that I don’t intend to fully use as gaming laptops, and gaming on linux is good enough that I can enjoy a game now and again while still getting the benefits of linux on these older systems.
