Steam's proton has made gaming on linux astoundingly good. The only thing that still needs improvement is mod support, as mod managers, game downgraders, bin patchers, some more involved mods involve little utilities written for windows that are not easily runnable on linux.
It is slowly improving though. The steam deck has moved things forward in leaps and bounds.
It seems like basically all the games I play aren't supported on this unfortunately and it feels like they never will be.
You do competitive games? Those have been so far Proton's biggest weakness, but that's usually less of a technical limitation and more of a company decision, which given enough pressure can be changed
All I play are online multiplayer games so yeah.
I play Battlefield 2042, Call of Duty Warzone, Apex Legends, PUBG, Rainbow 6 Siege, and Fortnite all somewhat regularly and none of these as far as I know work.
The only games that I do play regularly that work are Counter Strike 2 and DotA. Though I can't use Faceit for CS2 which would be ideal.

Force override it in the game settings. Works on 99% of games. Probably not multiplayer games with anti-cheat, because if you're not using a software chain fully validated by Microsoft then you're cheating.
