It's not very good, no, but it works. Many gamers don't really care that much about graphics settings and if you do then Linux gaming is not for you anyway. The graphics drivers and the game executables are more optimized on windows, and that's just the current state of the world.

That wasn't the case when I used to run Windows and I really doubt it is a supportable blanket statement that can be made now.

Well, the consoles always win on optimization. However, Windows is a lot better supported than Linux or Mac. There's no other way to see it, really.
