Most games work on linux with proton nowdays. Only thing that doesnt really work is games with anticheat.

Yeah I switched to Linux about a month ago now and so far every game I've tried has worked flawlessly.

I would say most anticheat works (although some games specifically choose to not allow Linux). It's just kernel level anticheat that flat out doesn't work (which is malware anyway)

Yup, that's the kicker. Most games w/ anticheat could work on Linux, but devs refuse to do the minimal work to enable the Linux-compatibility (in many cases, it's a checkbox and re-export the game). So the main thing that needs to happen is more Linux adoption. The more people that use Linux, the more pressure there will be on devs to check that box.

There's even some options, like Heroic and Junk Store, that allow you to install some anti-cheat.
