There are a few linux native games, with actually compiled for Linux binaries. Otherwise you’d better look at the WINE project and all that make many windows (as in win64) games runs on Linux.

    For OP's sake, I'll add that many, many games in steam can be jiggered to work in compatibility mode on Linux. Its as simple as telling steam to use compatibility mode on all games, and checking proton.db for tricks.

    With Heroic launcher, Epic, Amazon Prime (untested for me) and GoG too.

    The only games I have so far been unable to play are Fortnite and an obscure FPS I forget rn, both with EAC.

    WINE is the last thing I try after these easy solutions.
