All the games that "don't work" are the games that PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY!
It's always hardcore multiplayer games with the actual crowd. Using linux for gaming is a great way to continue down the path to becoming a recluse.
It really depends on what you play. I've been playing online co-op regularly with a bunch of friends since Covid times. We're jumping to new (well, on sale) games regularly, and the only recent time I booted to Windows was because a 4-player mod for Remnant II _might_ not work on Linux. Can't remember the previous game that did not work on Linux. I'm so used to things working without major tinkering that I forget to check protondb most of the time.
I actually don't like to play with random people on the internet.
I prefer the comfort of knowing them, and usually do it in the old basement LAN party way.
In my young time we didn't have internet, and we were actually LESS recluse overall ;-)
I play Helldivers 2 on Linux, and there are TONS of people playing.
