If you think it's too much time and effort for you, that's fair enough.
I obviously don't think it is or I wouldn't do it. Also something to note is it gets easier and faster with time as you have more things already installed and thus more games run out of the box, as well as just having the experience and know-how of what to do.
I'm not having poor end results compared to when I were using Windows, so that's just a you thing.
Only real notable fault for linux gaming is online multiplayer games with anti-cheat, and luckily for me I don't play those anyway.
Well one thing that hasn't been working that comes to mind is Frosty Tool Suite, a mod manager for Frostbite engine games, so I was unable to replay Dragon Age Inquisition with new mods on Linux.
That however isn't a game itself but a 3rd party mod manager, and technically I could get it too work by either using a NTFS formatted hard drive or some other tricks, but it seemed too much of a pain to deal with so I've left that on the back-burner.
