Punishing yourself with difficult installations just to "play" on
Linux.

When UT was actually popular, my XP box played it so fast ( I think I
was getting over 200FPS at least), that it was way over my refresh rate
(so you won't see any advantage).

If Linux actually was faster than XP (which I highly doubt given many
people's problems with games on Linux), then maybe I'd get 250FPS...
which wouldn't give me shit cause my refresh rate on my monitor is at
70.

When you get older, you'll realize that you just want to actually play
the game instead of tinker with Linux to get it working.
