Out of curiosity, what games? I'm not going to throw unsolicited advice at you — I'm just wondering because all of my games have been astoundingly easy to get working on Linux.
The big one that I can't get to work is Star Citizen (I know, I know) but there's a some Steam games like Deep Rock Galactic (might be the fact that its multiplayer) that just immediately crash or only run a few minutes then crash like Avowed (may just be avowed doing avowed things)
That makes sense. Although for what it's worth, I don't recall having any problems with Deep Rock Galactic, so whatever issues you had with that may be specific to your particular set up
I play both Star Citizen and DRG without any issues on Linux (I use Arch btw).
For Star Citizen you need to run the installer through a compatibility layer like Lutris, but then it should install and work fine (though I haven't played in about half a year, so more recent changes may have broken things). For DRG, I just installed through Steam. I don't even think I'm using GE or anything and just running it native.
