if you have a steam account, and you open it on Linux most of your games will be present to be played. Most of them will just work. Those that don't you can look up details on protondb.com.

as mentioned above if you play any competitive games that come with anti-cheat features, then you won't be able to join in the fun. So if you don't care about those games, you'll be fine.

I'd say it's a majority of games that won't work if they require anti-cheat, but some will.

  • Forza Horizon 6 was a bit of a shit-fight to get it working. GPU crashes, audio just failing, and 20-questions with what combination of runtime and configs would get it to play ball, and it would break after some patches, but it really stabilised now and most issues I’ve had have disappeared.

  • Game companies are adding their anti-cheat into Proton. Ubisoft for sure. Others will follow.
