I think a guarantee that they will eventually work would be difficult, but Proton has really changed the game. I'm using a Steam Deck (SteamOS, but there's Chimera.....more on that below) and there's a lot of things, including recent AAA games, that work really well with it.
Chimera supports FSR and seems to be the biggest alternative out of the box to SteamOS. A lot of game companies are making sure they can run with at least 30fps on Steam Deck because it's becoming a pretty good revenue stream for them which benefits everyone running Linux.
Protondb.com has a great list of what is currently working.
Spent a lot of the day thinking in the back of my mind what games on game pass ultimate I want to sit down and play at the computer, and what I came up with basically are games that would be perfectly playable via the ultimate cloud option on linux since the game pass games can't run without UWP so far on linux. Anything that would have such a degraded experience I could just play on the xbox one. Combine this with the results from running my library through prontonDB and this seems like a realistic possiblity!
I may be sold on finally ditching windows as the last great bastion of staying on windows for gaming falls, ironically, with the rise of microsoft introducing cloud gaming ^^
Now I need to see about using some vacation time to port everything over and tweak the new OS...
