Preformance was never a problem. Some games worked even better on Wine than native Windows. The thing is that you're never 100% sure it will be 100% compatible.

If you have two computers in your home, one Windows, one Linux and you, for example, share your Steam libraries with other gamers in your family, then it's great. If something doesn't work on Linux, you always have Windows around.

But, if you only have Linux, then you need to do some research before every purchase.




I generally don't bother researching beforehand thanks to Steam's excellent return policy.
