Windows is just full of hostile, anti-user patterns these days. I've considered building a windows box just to have a gaming rig multiple times over the last few years, but every time an article like this or their crusade against Chrome reminds me that Bill Gates is still the same anti-trust monster he was in the 90s.

You don't need Windows for gaming any more. Ubuntu 22.04 comes with graphics drivers. Steam has Steam Play and Lutris has a huge library of install scripts, so everything is handled for you.

The one thing you will need to do occasionally is experiment with different Wine distributions. This means you will need to right click on your game and select the distribution from a drop-down box. Exhausting, I know.

Did linux eventually get HDR support or is it still one (of many) sacrifices you make to game on linux?

HDR is currently experimental.

Red Hat is working on getting it integrated, and Valve have it in their display manager.

But for general users, out of the box, no.

Funny that SGI some 20 years ago supported more than 32bpp.
