Pasting my comment here from another on this thread.
I’ve been using Cachy OS and Marvel Rivals, Deep Rock Galactic, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, Crusader Kings 3, and UFO 50 have all worked out of the box including multiplayer. Turmoil and Helldivers 2 required a “tweak” which was switching back from Cachy’s version of Proton to the default Steam one. (Turmoil had minor graphical glitches and Helldivers 2 wouldn’t work on multiplayer until I did that.)
Linux gaming is worlds better than it has been in ages.
As someone who has used linux since 2009, I remember the days when linux “gaming” was super tux cart and some clone of minesweeper, that’s it. Linux has gotten SO much better in regards to gaming and will only continue to do so.
Uplink, Neverwinter Nights, and a few other games had native clients circa 2002-3. Wolfenstein and CS worked via opengl and wine. World of Warcraft, doom 1 & 2, StarCraft 1 (I never played 2)
Sometimes it was a pain getting games to work, for sure. And it’s 1000% better than it used to be! But there were lots of games available even back then, if you knew where to look.
