AAA titles like Battlefield 2042? Recent AAA titles became so low quality and uninspired that I mostly skip them.

The true AAA titles made by indie developers come surprisingly often with Linux support.

And there is always Stadia and Geforce Now.

Then again, I am not the Hardcore gamer I used to be in the golden days...

Indeed AAA titles like 2042. And indeed zero people need to switch to Windows for 2042.

I still play BF4 and it’s still a great game - but even that 7 year old title is of course impossible (as far as I know) to play on Linux.

I loved BF4! It is a great game.

I did not try it myself but it is saved to run flawless[0] on Linux, but there is trouble with Origin, which can be fixed, but I guess that's a bit of bending the rules. Assuming you want the version where a non tech savy person can use a Linux desktop.
