    Making sure you are using the latest version of Mint (21.2 as I write) is key for the next piece - you need to enable 32 bit libraries and install the vulkan and wine dependencies to make things work well. This is the wine link and this is the drivers link. If you are not running the 21.2 Mint, the warning on the drivers page is there for you - you need to manually fix a file after adding the kisak ppa on 21.1 to allow the 32 bits vulkan and mesa to install.

    You are missing lutris dependencies. Try this link to make sure everything is installed. Also, if this doesn't fix it, head to the lutris support discord server - I am travelling atm but I know they should be able to get you up and running with this

  • I think Linux might be the superior platform for gaming at this point.

    There's a catch tho that I didn't know at the time: gamescope in order to run needs Vulkan and when I installed Linux on my laptop at the time I only added Vulkan support for the NVIDIA dGPU, since that's the only card I use for games. I didn't have Vulkan drivers for the AMD iGPU, so every time I tried to launch gamescope no window would appear because it would default to the dGPU, which was the only one that could support Vulkan but had no access to the screen, but I could hear sound. In order to fix this I had to install the following packages that add Vulkan support to AMD GPUs vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon and reboot the machine. Keep in mind that these are the packages on Arch and I don't know what they are called on other distributions, but you can use this guide for reference.
