Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Bazzite – a Steam0S-like OCI image for desktop, living room, and handheld PCs
It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.
- So you're removing the possible access to play my old games I bought?

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
Apart from that, Linux gaming is actually there, except for some anticheat enabled games : https://areweanticheatyet.com/
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.
The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

Wine 9.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
> except Multiplayer online games
That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.
See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Are there any major sacrifices you make to play on Linux over Windows?
Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.
