From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So far the only thing that has been an issue has been anticheat
I'd say the anti-cheat has only recently become the "only issue". It's not like wine and proton could run everything flawlessly before kernel level stuff came along. The translation was imperfect and incomplete, so shit simply did not work. Lots of hard work on those projects slowly but surely filled in the gaps, and now we are finally at a stage where we can say that if a game doesn't work it's by design.
There are certain instances where certain games on Windows run slightly better because the Windows function implementation was possibly written slightly better. However, this is becoming rarer and rarer. I've faced it only when playing random 3d indie games.
