CS2 is *only* multiplayer. Are you specifically looking for online-only PvP shooters? Or something with a single-player story?
CS2 has already been suggested, it works fine and def has very polished graphics, physics effects (e.g. the smoke grenades), and of course an active player-base which is essential for online-only.
Obviously it requires Steam - if you're looking for something outside of Steam it's going to restrict your options a lot.
If not, you've also got older versions of Counter-Strike on Steam - you can still play CS Source and I think maybe CS 1.6 is still possible?
I've also had no problems running Battlefield V on Linux - using Steam but at least you don't have to also worry about logging into EA's launcher, which is still there AFAIK but handled seamlessly in the background. I've not tried in a while - almost a year, there were enough players then to get a decent game going, not sure what it's like now though.
Another one which is (or at least was) popular is BattleBit Remastered - I've not personally tried it but it's on my wishlist and has a good protondb score.
