protondb is a good resource for seeing if games work on linux and what issues you may run into. areweanticheatyet gives you more ideas on what games with anticheat enabled people have gotten running on linux. i also recommend installing proton-ge-custom. it rolls a few features from windows into steam games that are missing in proton (notably, some video codec support for videos inside games).
