I took a look out of curiosity. These are the current top 20 games on SteamCharts.com, excluding a GTA V mod and Wallpaper engine and their ProtonDB rating:

  1. Counter-Strike 2 [GOLD]
  2. PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS [BORKED]
  3. Dota 2 [GOLD]
  4. TBH: Task Bar Hero [GOLD]
  5. Apex Legends™ [SILVER]
  6. Path of Exile 2 [PLATINUM]
  7. Bongo Cat [BORKED]
  8. Rust [SILVER]
  9. Slay the Spire 2 [PLATINUM]
  10. Delta Force [BRONZE]
  11. Don't Starve Together [PLATINUM]
  12. EA SPORTS FC™ 26 [BORKED]
  13. Dead by Daylight [GOLD]
  14. Warframe [GOLD]
  15. Grand Theft Auto V Legacy [GOLD]
  16. Stardew Valley [PLATINUM]
  17. Forza Horizon 6 [GOLD]
  18. Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced [GOLD]
  19. Destiny 2 [BORKED]
  20. Overwatch [PLATINUM]

As you can see, only 4 of these are unplayable ("borked"), and 1 has a "bronze" rating. So the majority of the currently top-played games are playable on Linux.

Though Obviously that doesn't help you, if the game(s) you want to play aren't playable on Linux

Yeah every time I say this I always get comments like yours and I appreciate that you're making a point but it doesn't really help me.

I see Battlefield 5 isn't on there, because it isn't a steam game I get that, but my point isn't about steam my point is about gaming in general.

Edit: Battlefield 5 is listed as "SILVER", but reading the comments on ProtonDB it is unplayable in practice
