No judgement for your choices, but just so you know, it's basically no work for the majority of games.
With the exception of any major games that have anti-cheat. I miss League of Legends.
Yeah, anti-cheat and the Ubisoft launcher have been the only consistent obstacles. protondb.com is a fantastic resource, though.
I'm not a fan of LoL, so I can't say from personal experience, but it looks like PlayOnLinux claims to support it. Hope you find your joy!
I wouldn't say "any" major games. Helldivers 2 is a notable exception.
I've played Helldivers 2 with no obstacles and no additional setup.
That's what I'm saying. It has anticheat, and it runs on Linux without issue.
Ah, I apologize. I definitely was not fully awake when I read your original comment.
No worries, I may have just been unclear considering multiple people appear to have downvoted my comment.
Your question isn't dumb. You just haven't been exposed to the environment. Please feel free to ask any question about this you have and, if I don't answer, someone else probably will.
If you install the Linux version of Steam, it should allow you to download any game. There's a checkbox in the Steam settings that says something like "run non compatible games through proton" (not what it says, but the general sentiment). Checking that and restarting Steam once is the extent of the setup required; after that, it's essentially the same process as running a game in Windows (with the few exceptions mentioned by another commenter). Non Steam games should be able to be run by Lutris, PlayOnLinux or adding a non Steam game to Steam, but I mostly haven't done that myself so I can't vouch for it. Sincerely, for most games, it's an easy process.
I'm no expert, but if you decide to pursue this and get stuck, please feel free to reach out to me and I'll do my best to help. The link below seems like a good starting point: https://geekflare.com/install-steam-on-linux/
How is it for racing sims ? Last time I checked it didn’t look too good in terms of wheel drivers and games running ootb on Linux, or did I just not look in the right places?
Go to protondb.com and search for the games you're interested in. If your profile is public, I think you can import your entire library and browse through it instead of manually searching for each individual game. Ideally you want "platinum" compatibility but I've personally never had problems with "gold" games either.
I'm sorry, as much as I'd love to, I don't have an answer to this.
edit: corrected a word.
No worries, I had already given up on it for now I was just curious if someone could convince me to fully switch, or rather point me towards some open source projects I could use. Right now I boot into win11 for gaming and into fedora for everything else. Thanks anyway!
