In my experience, gaming worked great on Linux Mint. Overall, you may encounter issues with online gaming but only because the servers will see you’re using Linux and decide you must be cheating. Not really an issue with Linux, more an issue with the devs not doing a proper job.
ProtonDB is a good resource to understand what games run well on Linux and what issues you may encounter.
Some games will just automatically block Linux machines in their anticheat engines. This site is one that tracks online playability of games on Linux machines, or more specifically if a game will automatically block you simply because you’re playing on Linux.
For me, nvidia with proprietary drivers works great, just make sure to have correct dependency packages installed for vulcan etc. (should just work in most distros if their recommended way of installing nvidia drivers is used)
