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:
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
