The companies that don’t let you choose your platform don’t respect you. They won’t support Linux until they’re forced to. As long as you let them bully you they’ll continue to not support user freedom. There are far too many games to play that I can’t play them all, so I don’t really care that a tiny handful of games aren’t playable. They aren’t worth playing until they learn to respect customers.
I almost always am playing games with friends, so it depends on what they want to play as well. We generally rotate through different games at different times, and the choice depends on what we can find that everyone would enjoy. It can already be hard to do that sometimes, so removing more options could make it worse.
Battlefield 6 is one of the ones we have been playing recently, so that one would require Windows (at least as a dual boot option). It’s also hard to know what games might be the group preference in the future.
Yeah, I have a group of three who I have been playing with for years. It really hasn’t been an issue for us though. We’ve been doing The Finals for a while now, and we did Hunt for a while before that. We’ve hopped between several different games, and it’s not a problem. We just aren’t really drawn towards EA or Riot though, which are the only western games that don’t work, for the most part.
I’ve had enough Battlefield in my past that I don’t care for it anymore. I also play Squad, so that easily takes its place. Basically, the companies with executives forcing kernel level anti-cheat on them aren’t allowed to make interesting games anyway, so it doesn’t bother me.
If you like it, I’d like to recommend Squad. It’s more based in reality (though not “realistic”). It’s much slower. You can’t sprint around and kill people. It’s also focused on team play. It’s the spawn of the Project Reality mod from Battlefield 2, so it’s got the same DNA.
They frequently have free weekends. That’s the worst time to play, as free players kill a lot of the team play. For the chance to try for free though, it’s good. Just know it’s the worst experience you’ll have while playing. It only goes up from there.
What games? The vast majority work fine.

I never played any of the earlier BF games, only One (Which I didn’t care for), 2042, and 6.

That sounds like it wouldn’t appeal to me as much.
