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.

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

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Finally, to get a decent start menu and context menu back Explorer patcher and Shell work wonders. There is also Open shell if you want that classic Windows 7-10 look, but personally I think it looks dated in comparison. The Win11 start menu looks fine, it's just missing core functionality.
I'ma just leave this here

Windows 11 Start menu ads look set to get even worse – this is getting painful now
Check out context menu manager shell, it keeps the win11 styling but fixes all of its issues. Looks like this.

Windows 11 Sentiment
I'm surprised it's not mentioned explicitly on that page, but it's open source, too: https://github.com/moudey/Shell
It is not open source. Visit the repository you linked and you will find it is only their website and configuration. The code is closed source, there is an issue on their repo about it: https://github.com/moudey/Shell/issues/139

Tiny 11 for AyaNeo
Honestly not worth it. You are better off, installing an unmodified Windows 11 and later debloat it with a script. The other programs I would recommend are ExplorerPatcher and Nilesoft Shell.

Notepad controversy Context Menu integration got replaced in v8.5.1- Windows 11 Context menu integration is unexpected complex
