Like others have shared, proton and wine. The bottles app helps for games not in Steam. For example, I was able to play Diablo 4 with zero problems. Installed battle.net in bottles, installed Diablo 4, played the game. Epic games is more annoying but possible to setup, and once you set it up, games seem to run perfectly. Haven't had any fail yet. Also got Gog installed but haven't tested installing games yet. Basically I'm in the boat of: if a game cannot play on Linux at all, I just get a refund for it and wait until someone finds a way to get it to work... or proton updates to a version that helps. 9/10 times a fix eventually shows up and I can repurchase (sometimes at a cheaper price too!) and enjoy the game
