Oh yeah, it's still not at the same level of ease of use as Windows.
It's massivelly better if compared to the old days in Linux and, curiously, it's easier for those who in Windows were never "sophisticated" user that did not relly on store frontends to manage the installation for them, but if you're the kind of user of Windows that does actually know what folders and executable files are, it's more complex to get going ~~than~~ in Linux.
Curiously in my experience even Linux native games are way more complex to get working in Linux that the Windows equivalent are in Windows (or even Linux: I have at least one game were the Windows version installs almost flawlessly in Linux whilst the Linux version is a "missing library" nightmare), unless they're recent enough that they come in something like Snap or Flatpack)
