I played so much supertuxkart in middle school, then got pretty good at figuring out how to configure wine to make everything work in high school, and now as an adult wine has gotten so good that I just click on whatever I want to play on steam and 90% of the time it just works flawlessly, I don't even always remember which games are native and which are running in wine these days.

Anyway yeah, using linux never made me spend less time playing games
