I had just looked at the publisher's system requirements on Steam, since my experience with Wine from over a decade ago was a dead end. I've learned a lot from this thread, though, and it seems things have improved dramatically.

    it seems things have improved dramatically.

    Like maxo said, things are definitely waaaaaaaay better than 10 years ago.
    I'd say roughly 80% of my windows only games run as good as on windows, and probably 25-30% of my full library (not just what runs in proton) runs better in Linux with proton/wine than they do in win11.
    Mostly what doesn't work is stuff with kernel level anticheat.

    It did. I recently downloaded steam on Ubuntu and you don't need to install any 3rd party stuff yourself. It's available as compatibility toggle in steam. Sometimes you need to configure different version of Proton for games to work and they are slower to start. But they run fast and I didn't experienced much bugs. It's amazing, now after end of win10 I can ditch windows completely, as this and photoshop was the only reason I still have win10 installed.
