I’m not much of a gamer anymore, I only play stuff from the prepandemic, mostly 10+ year old games but tbh Linux works great for everything. Mostly been using Steam on both Ubuntu and Fedora KDE but it works flawlessly so long as you have your graphics drivers configured correctly.
I haven’t tried to pirate any games or install anything with WINE/Lutris so I can’t comment on that but I did manage to get the non-Steam Windows only version of Final Fantasy 14 working for my wife using a third party launcher. I got the impression doing that that an adept user would easily be able to set up standalone or pirated games without much trouble
