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 ā 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 ā 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.

5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming
A surprisingly big number of anti-cheat games work on Proton:

Best Steam Deck games of all time based on multiple lists
No, not really. No one was in charge at the beginning. It was a community project with multiple people having the administrative role at the same time. LennyMcLennington was one of the contributers, but not really an important one. But he removed the administrative rights from the actually important people. Devs like flowln and Scrumplex played a much bigger role. Even after half a year being the only developer at the PolyMC-Project Lenny still heasn't caught up with what other conributers had done in a few months before.

Curseforge removes Sodium and Iris
It's still open source, the repo hasn't moved. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/

New User: I keep getting this error and Iām not sure how to fix it. I just barely bought a MC account.
The issue is: the main developer freaked out, made a post ranting about political bs, kicked everyone from the GitHub project and now it's been 2 months since it hasn't been updated. The developers who used to contribute to "PolyMC" moved from the "PolyMC" project to the "PrismLauncher" one after the drama.

PolyMC doesn't download any mods for any mod pack instance?

GShade malware
Can't forget about that one PolyMC dev kicking all of the other devs off of the project because he didn't like how they were supportive of LGBT people, held leftist views, and wanted to introduce a Code of Conduct into the Github. Nothing says "trustworthy dev" like a complete and sudden takeover because your final straw was the addition of a horribly malicious file that [checks notes] is an agreement between the other devs that basically boils down to "Don't be an asshole"... https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commit/ccf282593dcdbe189c99b81b8bc90cb203aed3ee https://uploads.golmedia.net/uploads/articles/article_media/3869764111666082503gol1.jpeg

Launchers for Minecraft that are easy on my computer so it doesn't explode? (For newest MC)
PolyMC is dead - the owner pulled a hostile takeover (with a goal of "[reclaiming] polymc from the leftoids") so all of the devs left and made a new fork called Prism Launcher

Minecraft Modpacks
At this point, PolyMC should be considered a hacked client. Curseforge has blocked their key, so they've resorted to an implementation to evade this block. I don't know if they managed to register a new MSA application or are similarly using someone else's tokens, but I absolutely would not give PolyMC permissions to manage my login.
What are some alternatives?
