Out of the top fifty games on Steam, 70% work on Linux
In terms of single-player games, the figure is more like 85%. You can probably get an additional 5% to work with various levels of tweaking, but compatibility is remarkably good these days. Many games perform better on Linux than they do on Windows (Borderlands, Overwatch), while others give you a chance to have a flawless experience with games that are pretty busted on modern Windows (Diablo 2, Fallout: New Vegas). As another commenter mentioned, the big issue is with anti-cheat: any game implementing EAC will outright not work, full stop. That makes it about a 50&#x2F;50 chance that multiplayer titles will work on Linux, with some unfortunate casualties like Rainbow Six Siege and Halo MCC&#x27;s online multiplayer.<p>With that being said, I truly and honestly believe Linux is the way to go if you&#x27;re not into multiplayer. Valve&#x27;s commitment to Linux is nothing short of herculean, and it&#x27;s heartwarming to see them give back to the open source community in such a remarkable way. If it weren&#x27;t for Proton (and DXVK), I&#x27;d still be using Windows on my main computer, which made development hell. Now, I feel comfortable moving to a system where I can enjoy Overwatch, Titanfall and Team Fortress on a regular basis without dual-booting.
