It's mostly the problems with anti cheats. The one that comes to mind is Helldivers. I already hated the anti cheat for that game but it's impossible on Linux. If I was still into Apex Legends I'm sure Easy Anti Cheat would cause some issues but I'm not sure. If Easy Anti Cheat doesn't work then there are a lot of games to add to that list like Halo and The Finals. I can't name a lot off the top of my head but Easy Anti Cheat is super popular with devs of online games.

Proton has modules for EasyAntiCheat. I have played Halo on Arch. I don't know about Helldivers, or Apex. But I absolutely know anticheat is an issue on Linux. Well if you ask me it is more so that these Kernel level anti-cheat mechanisms need to die.

(iirc) Apex worked great up until recently, when they started deliberately banning Linux players.

Helldivers or Helldivers 2? HD2 runs very well in Linux.

Helldivers 2. It kept crashing so I figured it was because of the anti cheat. Perhaps it was just user error and I need to try again.

I've played Helldivers 2 for over 400 hours now, and all of that has been on linux.

Look it up on protondb, there's some launch options you could try.
