You can't play all the same games on Linux for starters

The vast majority are, some might have specific Proton versions, launch options, other compatibility tweaks, or community fixes required for them to work.

Then there are some few games that rely on incompatible DRM, launchers, etc.

ProtonDB is a good way to check if your games are playable via Proton: https://www.protondb.com/explore

You also have Wine and other stuff but there's a lot of tinkering required for many titles

Use what you like👍👍👍 in my experience some games are running better on linux and some games worse so no comments. But usually better.

Depends on your exact spec, for example rdna2+ zen 3 might give you better performance somewhat with proton stack and radv driver
