Tried Nvidia’s GTX 1080 – still no external GPU on a Pi

I dualboot without issue.

You can also run Linux inside of a VM on Windows.

Or you can even have a dedicated gaming PC and a cheap Linux PC. Windows Subsystem for Linux can give you the best of both worlds. I don't love Windows, honestly I think OSX is the best OS, but I can't run it on anything but a Mac.

Epic, EA, and Ubisoft don't even have clients for Linux.

There is a client for Epic, Heroic (https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher). EA and Ubisoft gave up on their walled gardens and sell their games via Steam now. There is still the EA Origin DRM client involved there somewhere and that can cause problems, but it can also work, so worth a try if the game is worth it.

I stand corrected. I still think Windows is worth keeping around , but I love to see alternatives
