And just to let people know, you are not limited to Linux games only. You can play windows games on Linux. Took me a while to figure this out.
Valve needs to enable Proton by default.
I just installed Bazzite, it's all baked in.
I have bazzite on my daughter's machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It's not a huge deal if you know it's there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.
Didn't they make the change recently?
Proton for the win. (dows)
Just wanted to add to this for those who don't know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don't work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support
