For me, as someone who's not into esports-games, I just expect games to work on Linux now, and they nearly always do. The exception has been a couple of old or obscure titles that run fine in a virtual machine. I'm not running any fancy version of Linux, just Mint, and the only thing I do to get them to work, is install them on Steam. Proton is amazing.

If you are into esports-games, though, there's a risk that they'll require kernel-level anticheat, and Linux does not do that.

    It feels like the problem with Linux gaming nowadays, is that people expect you to own your games on Steam. Yes, Steam's support is excellent now. But my GOG games not so smoothly. Is it because of my obscure hardware? Is it my misconfiguration? Or is it me mod my games the wrong way? I'm still trying to figure out a way to mod my GOG Skyrim through MO2.
