Pushing the limits of technology is how technology improves. Not all games need to do this, but I don’t see it as a bad thing that some do.

I couldn’t wait, I’m already using it for that HDR support.
Not surprisingly, North Korea’s Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.
Is it Hell Let Loose? I started playing it since they support Linux now, very well done Battlefield-like game. I haven’t played much BF since 1942.
If you’re not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.
According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There’s been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.
According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It’s a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.
I agree with the other posters, your hardware is going to hold you back. But you could try switching to a lighter desktop environment like LXDE instead of GNOME. This user found a small increase in performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/dg87jp/does_the_desktop_environment_matter_for_gaming/
But they had somewhat beefy hardware. If you’re truly at the limit of your specs, 100% CPU/RAM usage, your performance increase could be even more.
There’s a few that focus around inventory management. Backpack Hero and Dredge come to mind.
For those curious, I threw 🥤^i - 🥤 = 3 into wolfram.
🥤 ≈ -2.97983 + 0.0388569 i… or 🥤 ≈ 0.27972 - 0.748461 i…
I converted my partner to Linux, it’s the easiet way to grow the user base.
You can use about any laptop with Linux. I would say take a current laptop and boot into a distro using a live usb. This will let you try it without installing it. You do occasionally run into issues with some hardware: fingerprint, wifi, trackpad, etc. So this is a good test.
But otherwise if you want a laptop that guarantees Linux support: Framework, System76, Tuxedo

As with anything pushing technical limits, there’s always risk. But what you’re describing isnt purely an issue of pushing realism in gaming, it’s an issue of pushing for profits above all else. These exact practices happen in less realistic game development as well.
Anyway, as stated, I don’t think all games should try to push the graphical envelope. Most games I play don’t attempt this. But I’m glad games like TLOU2 exist and appreciate the devs behind it.
