Nowadays, with Steam, most games are just install-and-play. For non-Steam games, Lutris does a good job of handling the tedium, though it is an extra step vs installing on Windows. Other marketplaces/launchers are generally covered by some third-party alternative that has most of the relevant functionality.
So far, I haven’t had any issues with any purchased games under Linux. If it doesn’t run as-is after installing, it’s just been a question of choosing Proton in a drop-down menu. I’ve been Linux-only for about two years now, and gaming used to be the only thing that kept me locked into Windows. That said, there are games that won’t run at all under Linux, often due to anti-cheat software.
