      This website is a godsend https://www.protondb.com/

      You can search any game in steam, and it will tell you exactly what to expect.

      For most games, it’s as simple as checking one box in the steam settings for the first time.

        Tbh you don’t even need to check unless it’s a competitive multiplayer game or something with anti cheat. I just buy games and assume they work.

      Pretty much the only games that don’t work now are games with anticheat.

      Steam really pushed windows games on Linux after the steam deck.

      It’s been at the point for awhile now that I can just buy games on a whim without looking up any sort of compatibility, and I just assume they work. It’s worked every time so far. Right now I’m like 100 hours into Bauldurs Gate 3 lol. The other online game I play is Genshin Impact, which I just had to install with the exe through wine and then it just works.

      Pretty rare that you run into an issue at all these days, but one big bummer is that non-steam-workshop mods are a pain to install. Basically anything that uses a mod manager.
