From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't promise anything, but a few years has made a pretty huge difference here. If the game you want to play is on Steam and doesn't have weird anticheat, it'll likely just work. If it's not on Steam, try Lutris.
If the game you want to play still doesn't work, post here and say "LINUX BLOWS BECAUSE IT CAN'T PLAY THIS GAME" and then you'll get a dozen different ways to make it run
