Another issue is when the inevitable distro update comes, you have a 50/50 chance of all those tweaks having to be done again (for each game) if something with the upgrade goes sideways.

I get daily updates on my Fedora/KDE install, and I've never seen that happen, and I'm a avid gamer, playing games each and every day.

Also, you don't install Wine yourself directly into the OS, so you don't have to worry about it breaking with a new OS update.

You install a manager for Wine, like Bottles. Between Bottles and Steam, games install and run to the point you can't even tell you're running them on Linux.

Bottles will even let you link your Bottles installed game into Steam, so you see it in your games list just like any other Steam game.
