Until it fully supports multiplayer which doesn't seem to be a thing for any major game or studio, it's a nothingburger for the majority of people.

Multiplayer games is only some specific sub-scene of PC gaming.

The most played game on Steam is CS2, and it requires Windows for the competitive servers.

Of the top 10 games on steam, 8 of them are multiplayer. Until they have top multiplayer games, they have nothing. The reality is most of these studios aren't going to enable Linux because they're already on record stating it would make the cheating worse.
