Which games do you play? In my experience the only ones that haven't worked are ones with a hefty (kernel-level) anti cheat or similar. Proton is surprisingly good at emulating windows games!
Most games I play work on Proton. It’s Destiny 2 that will get your account banned if you use Linux. I’ve invested too much time at this point to risk a ban, so I’ll need to wait until I finish the last DLC before I switch. I’ve run Suse and Redhat in the past, but the last time I attempted to game on Linux was Team Fortress 2. Based on my experience with SteamDeck, it wouldn’t be hard to get most games up and running.
Total War games are buggy on Linux despite having linux “ports”.
Star Citizen also runs poorly on Linux. They’re meant to support it at some point so maybe in a decade…
