Edit: Thank you for all the replies, I might dive in a couple of distros just to really get a feel of it.
I understand a bit better the reality that is gaming on Linux and I’ll see work-wise and the overall environment if it’s for me.
Reddit has r/linux4noobs to help you decide if Linux, as a platform, is for you. YouTube is also full of relevant videos, tutorials, how-tos. Phoronix has countless professional reviews and benchmarks. You even have a friend who uses Fedora … Basically ALL the answers to ALL your questions have been at your fingertips ALL ALONG but, for some VERY weird reason, you either refuse(d) to do a lousy “Search” or did not trust the info that was given to you.
Instead, you jumped straight to this particular channel, as if you already know everything that needs to be known about Linux and you got “gaming on Linux” as the last crusade to be won.

Where can I download Steam games in Linux ? I can’t really find a consistent answer on this one…
Really ?!? Like … really-really ??? Were any of these invisible in your search or … ?

It’s not just good. It’s THE BEST approach, especially if you manage to have one dedicated drive for each of your chosen operating systems … and some other drive (or partition) for “generic personal data”
Of course, as a complete newb you can get a first glance at any modern Linux distro by using a “Live CD/ DVD / USB” (see Ventoy or Rufus) or a Virtual Machine (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc, etc). Later on, AFTER you begin to understand what you’re dealing with, you can jump onto the next step (dual-booting and using as a
LAZY ! VERY, VERY LAZY !
Wait ! This is epic ! I need a moment to take two screenshots (one as a backup) while laughing out loud.
“BTW” … did you “RTFM” by any chance ? No ? Ah … bummer.
