If you only tried two games, one of them was launcher problems on Blizzards end (fuck Blizzard), then you can't really comment on much. ArmA is notoriously CPU entensive, and it may not work well with Linux. Is it marked on Steam as Linux compatible?

I played about a dozen games and most of them worked great through steam.

Arma is gold rated on protondb.

What I don't understand is why everyone talks about how easy Linux gaming is when it's clearly not as simple a process as Windows.

I've been playing Arma3 on Linux for about a year and a half now, works perfectly for me.

Frames are high and smooth, graphical settings all work well, no crashes.

I'm on Nobara Linux with a 6700xt and a 5800X3D. I just run it through Steam, I think with the default Proton version, possibly experimental.
