I believe the final frontier for Linux gaming - apart from some niche cases - is multiplayer games with kernel-level anticheat. They are literally impossible to play on Linux, so if you're into one of those then don't bother.
The other edge case is modding. A lot of mods work just fine on Linux, but some just don't and some - like those relying on Mod Managers and the like - might require more fiddling and specific tinkering. If you do a lot of modding it's probably easier to stick to Windows as you know everything just works.
Otherwise you should be good to try.
Not to mention general support from software companies. I recently endeavoured to try Bazzite only to find out I can't install my VPN's client on it because there's not a flatpak version. Given a handful of other programs I specifically like and would need to find workarounds or alternatives to, I won't be jumping over anytime soon.
