I'd love to move to Linux but I play some old ass games that I've no idea if they'll work. I missed out a lot of games since my PC was pure ass and it's just something I like doing.
For eg I want to play OG Deus Ex (never done before), and do a replay of Morrowind with fancy mods. I also recently replayed Splinter Cell because I felt like it.

old games typically work better on linux than on modern windows versions

I've played Deus Ex (and the revision mod) and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on Linux without issue. If you're playing steam games it's basically just install and play. Especially for old games.
There's a website called protondb.com you can check for compatibility. Gaming on Linux is so good now though, I don't even check anymore before buying games.
Word of warning though. While modding games running through wine/proton is possible, mod managers don't usually work or are tedious to set up. I don't mod too much so I usually just manually install or stick with steam workshop mods.

Should really check out open mw.

I play Morrowind on Linux all the time, running OpenMW (bought from GOG) on Lutris.

ProtonDB is known well enough at this point, you can be expected to look up these games yourself.
