I recently switched my laptop over to pop os and I've had no issues running the games I want to play using Lutris. Hell I'd argue Linux runs old games better than windows because of lutris. I have a few games I tried running on windows 10 and no matter what I did the game would insta ctd. But after switching and installing them using a lutris config I've actually been able to play those games. I even thought for sure I'd lose some of the functionality of my laptop (key lights, touch screen, something) but nope it all worked straight after install.

Linux has come a long way since I last tried it ~15 years ago
