Wayland nvidia is completely busted
I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.
So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn't call it "completely busted".

I'd love to move to Linux but I play some old ass games that I've no idea if they'll work. I missed out a lot of games since my PC was pure ass and it's just something I like doing.
For eg I want to play OG Deus Ex (never done before), and do a replay of Morrowind with fancy mods. I also recently replayed Splinter Cell because I felt like it.
I've played Deus Ex (and the revision mod) and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on Linux without issue. If you're playing steam games it's basically just install and play. Especially for old games.
There's a website called protondb.com you can check for compatibility. Gaming on Linux is so good now though, I don't even check anymore before buying games.
Word of warning though. While modding games running through wine/proton is possible, mod managers don't usually work or are tedious to set up. I don't mod too much so I usually just manually install or stick with steam workshop mods.

The thing that's fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I'm stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.

"Linux is ready" - which distro? Fractional (sometimes even non-fractional) scaling is a mess. Most things that go beyond changing the wallpaper image need some command line stuff. Linux Desktop is for nerds and definitely not ready.
Yes it works fine if you know what you are doing but most people don't. There is often not one thing of doing stuff, but hundreds. It already starts with the selection of a distro how would a "non-computer-person" decide on a distro. Just try them out? Install twenty different distros because reasons?
Unless resources are pooled into a single distro to polish it and make a defacto standard for ordinary people, homes and offices, Linux is not ready. If I need the freaking terminal because I want to see the day of the week next to the date it's not ready.
