You switched to Windows?

You switched to Windows?

Maybe installing Windows versions of games instead of native Linux versions?

Only game I had to do that was for Tabletop Simulator due to a memory leak in the Linux release due to my colossal amount of subscribed Workshop items. But other than that, if there is a Linux release then that's my go to one!

May I introduce you to crap like Alien Isolation where the porting companies went all-in on Nvidia-exclusive features and the version with higher compatibility is indeed the Windows release.

They probably meant "Switched from windows" or "switched to windows version of the games they play".
