Many games are still not functional on Linux. Here is a link showing which ones aren't just due to their anti-cheat features. That doesn't include games that aren't compatible for other reasons.

It's pretty rare to find a game that doesn't work for a reason that isn't anticheat. I would say the few that are incompatible definitely classify as the exception and not the rule.
If you can find a game that doesn't work on Linux at this point not due to anti cheat that would be honestly rather impressive.
I'm not playing any games with anticheat and I'm working so much I only play single player. Linux won for me
