It has come lightyears.

ProtonDB has a feature where you can give it access to your Steam account for reading and it'll give you a full report based on your personal library: https://www.protondb.com/profile

And I find if anything it tends to the conservative. I've encountered a few things where it was overoptimistic but its outweighed by the stuff that was supported even better than ProtonDB said.

In the late 2000s, I played a few things, but I went in with the assumption it either wouldn't work, or wouldn't work without tweaking. Now I go in with the assumption that it will work unless otherwise indicated. Except multiplayer shooters and VR.

I use steam with Monado to play VRChat on Linux, it surprisingly just works. There are many options to do this nowadays like wired PCVR headsets (The HTC ones are really well supported under Linux) or ALVR if you have a Quest. The only tricky part is setting up steam to use Monado instead of Steam VR but there is documentation on that. I even had some success with running Beat Saber under FreeBSD once using Monado and Wine.
