If you have a particular game in mind you can check protondb.com, which tries to cover both Proton compatibility and Deck compatibility.
Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux
echodot@feddit.uk 3 days agoI’m getting back into PC gaming after being consult exclusive for a while. I’m assuming anything with kernel anti-cheat is still not trying to work which is a problem because it means I either have to buy a windows licence or mess around with a cracked one which has its own security concerns.
I think my plan is to dual boot and use Windows as little as often.

Yeah, when w10 dies this is probably what I’ll end up doing too. I want to ditch windows but a lot of the programs I use don’t have Linux support

Was the same for me and I said screw it, and figured out alternate programs to use , annoyamce ? For sure but18 months later it’s no longer an issue.

There’s this handy list of online games with anti-cheat that are compatible with Linux. The majority isn’t supported, but some major titles are, surprisingly.

You can use windows freely without activating, or at least you could last time I needed it.
