I read people online saying this often. But I’ve neve been able to play things without hiccups on Linux before.

With very very few exceptions.

I wonder why our experiences are this different. What distribution of linux do you run, on which hardware and how recent is your experience? For what it's worth, I have an AMD cpu and gpu with cachyos (which is a flavor of arch with some gaming optimizations pre-applied at install). I'd urge you to give it another try, Proton/Wine has really advanced a lot in the past few years.

Mostly Debian and arch. But I’ve tried bazzite too at one point.

Experiences range from 5 years ago to like. Today.

And all my hardware is amd as well.
