Depends on the game, depends on the power. You can get a decent mid range PC for the price, I've seen a 3050 8GB for $275 CAD or $360 CAD for a 3060 12GB, and with a $959.99 CAD Price tag you can easily buy a Case for $60 CAD, 16GB of RAM for $50, $80 for a 550w Power Supply, $85 1TB of RAM, $100 for the Motherboard, and $200 for a Ryzen 7 5700, with $25 to get a cheap keyboard and mouse, or more if you get the 3050.
This is from a quick search, you can probably optimize it more if you go used, use PC Part Picker, or wait for better sales.
Please NOTE: I never claimed that this PC would be better than the PS5 Pro, I said it would be better to build one. Especially since you can upgrade the machine later, and have access to a larger library of games including Sony.
Though if you wanted to cheap out you could get a Steam Deck for much, much less.

Setting up Linux is a pain for most distros from my experience, Steam deck makes things easy in comparison. I personally run Linux Mint as it's easier to setup and run.
