I'm not and never was a fan of Windows 10, i'm moving to Linux Mint when i have time, and i was wondering whether is it possible or not for Linux to play multiplayer games cross platform with Windows using Zero Tier, but it's not possible, is it?

Even some newer stuff running with Proton, like AoE4 or Company of Heroes 3. Basically these games will send each other inputs and expect the game to play out identically. If there are any slight differences due to how the math happens, the game will end because it detects a desync. Usually the solution is copying whatever DLL windows uses instead of relying on WINE.
