I have a very extensive steam, gog, and battle.net library with all kinda of games from wolfenstein 3D to Baulders Gate 3. The only game I haven't been able to run is Ground Control 2, but that doesn't work on windows 10 (possible a USB device issue). Unless you play a game with an anti cheat that explicitly deny Linux (the only one I know off the top of my head that does that is Fortnite) you are most likely good to go. I'm quite a performance/fps snobb, and I haven't found any game that runs worse on Linux either.

I play the DMZ mode of Call of Duty a lot. And Cyberpunk 2077. Recently started playing Reka. Heard of any issues with those?

Looks like Warzone is one of the unfortunate ones, the kernel level anti cheat currently stops it from working on Linux.

Reka (added to my wishlist 😄) seems to run well. If it will run straight out the box or not seems to be a little hit and miss. You can check any troubleshooting steps on protondb. This shows Linux isn't quite at the "it just works" stage. But for this title if you do run into an issue it seems like an easy fix.

Cyberpunk runs really well. I haven't had to tweak anything for my install.
