I had been operating under the assumption that my windows machine was
the unstable platform and was preferentially selecting games that I
could run on Linux....
Why would you assume that WIndows is the unstable one when every game is
built with Windows as the first class citizen? Even if you are changing
it every day it should be way better than running in Linux.
I believed the lies about open source and linux etc, even despite my
lived experience... Mostly because I hate Micro$oft to death...

IMO, that's a rather myopic reason to select an operating system. An OS,
like any other piece of software, is a tool for a task. You select the
one(s) which allow you to accomplish what you want to on the hardware you have.
What in god's name are the linux ppl trying to build here?!?!?!
It's certainly not a stable, usable, and reliable operating system...
Funny you should say that. A Linux machine has been my primary personal
desktop for around 18 years now. Most of that has been on Debian or some
derivative, but part of what I want from the tool at hand is that it does
what I want - so I had the freedom to switch to Gentoo and ditch PulseAudio
and systemd, the two flies in my otherwise functional ointment. I've only
been here for a little over a year, but I'm incredibly grateful for the
hard work and the helpful people. Perhaps you should look up that word:
gratitude. Remember that all of this costs you nothing and costs others one
of the only two resources we genuinely have (time, the other being our
physical being) for which they recieve no extrinsic reward. And perhaps you
should exercise your freedom to select another operating system.
And I'm running KDE and steam without issue, ignoring nvidia driver bugs
wrt Vulkan, affecting exactly one game I have. But I'm not here to bore you
all with my thoughts on nvidia and their non-alliance with the Linux community.
