If you use this guide to mount the Windows drives you can run it and Linux side by side. It works just as good as Windows these days for 90% of games. You can add games downloaded from unofficial sites to Steam as a "Non-steam game" and it works. Installing Nvidia drivers on Mint is easier than Windows, there's a built in utility.
Do you know if that works for epic games and heroic launcher as well?
There's another launcher that I'm forgetting the name of that will launch Epic and GoG games. Following that proton guide should make NTFS (windows) drives usable for anything in Linux though. I can boot games downloaded from "alternate sites" if I add them to steam as "non steam games" regardless of how the drive is mounted.
There's still the issue of overhead and such. Like I want to ditch windows forever, but Linux is just not 100% there yet with gaming. It's very close though.
