When can I reliably run ~95% of Steam titles on Linux with a Nvidia card? That's what I'm waiting for, then it's bye-bye Windows.

I think there are still some common anti cheats that don’t work. But single player has been flawless for me.

Anti-cheats won't work, I keep a Windows drive just for Battlefield 6.

Very few games don't work anymore, and most that don't are using kernel level anti-cheat or are generally hostile to users anyways (Fortnite and Destiny 2 could work, but they actively block Linux).
I main Fedora with an Nvidia 3080 and haven't had issues for quite some time now.

I unfortunately still see a lot of Proton bug reports that don’t repro on AMD cards. Hoping that improves soon, I’m sure Valve would love to tell hardware makers that Nvidia GPUs are supported.

Many of the replies completely missed the part about Nvidia, sigh . I unfortunately still see a lot of Proton bug reports that don’t repro on AMD cards. Hoping that improves soon, I’m sure Valve would love to tell hardware makers that Nvidia GPUs are supported.
How can anybody seriously argue Linux is an OS ready for ordinary users when you have to do crap like this? Complete delusion.
For most distributions you can simply install the (proprietary) nvidia drivers and you're good to go.
There is generally no tweaking or command line changes necessary for Nvidia to work on Wayland, including multi-monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates.

I'd just go AMD. The drivers there are much more mature due to Google and Valve contributions, and the performance of an 9070 XT is great while being cheaper than the equivalent 5070 Ti. FSR4 is a solid competitor to DLSS and works in any game that supports FSR 3.1. Anti-cheats won't work, I keep a Windows drive just for Battlefield 6.
I run CachyOS and have been having a nightmare of a time on Wayland with my 3D Printer slicer and other tools I use my computer for being unusable.
The only thing that has ever kept me on Nvidia all these years is that they have been killing AMD performance wise for gaming.
The 9070XT is easily performant enough for the gaming I'm doing at the moment, and I can finally ditch the last major headache I've had in two and a half decades of being a Linux user - NVIDIA drivers - good riddance.
I don't play online games other than Helldivers 2 (so anti-cheat is a non-issue) which is working just fine at 70-80FPS max settings in 4K. Also getting good performance with RT off playing Ghostwire in 4K with settings as high as I can get them while staying above 60 FPS with Freesync.
EDIT: 9070XT seems to have a bit of headroom too I got the Asus PRIME OC version; Using LACT I upped the power limit from the stock 317W to 340W and undervolted by -100mv (YMMV on this value) and can get a decent chunk of extra performance out of it.
