So ... all the windows games now run on Linux? That would be news to me. And I was just recently messing with drivers, kernels etc to get a working result, but in the end I still could not play the (officially supported) game on Linux that I wanted (opposed to just works on windows), so good for you that your problems went away, but please note, that other people might have had other experiences.

The vast majority just run out of the box with steam now, often with better performance than windows.

Quite a few that use other launchers are "plug and play" installs with lutris (like WoW).

Not all, kernel level anticheat with the big multiplayer games is a problem these days (areweanticheatyet.com), but other than that, most titles work.

Yes and this is awesome, but the comment I replied to, seemed to imply that all the problems went away since years and this is just wrong in my experience and can create wrong expectations for people trying out Linux again - just to get disappointed.

Name a game and it probably works on linux these days.

My favourite games all do, but I'm already using consoles exclusively for my gaming because I was unhappy being held prisoner.

Well, Total Warhammer 3 for example did not work for me through official Steam, even though it should. It runs on the same computer on windows without problems. And with much more tinkering I surely could get it to run on Linux as well .. but I want to play games to relax and not get and solve new problems.
