And just to let people know, you are not limited to Linux games only. You can play windows games on Linux. Took me a while to figure this out.
Just wanted to add to this for those who don't know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don't work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support
Valve needs to enable Proton by default.
I just installed Bazzite, it's all baked in.
I have bazzite on my daughter's machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It's not a huge deal if you know it's there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.
Didn't they make the change recently?
Proton for the win. (dows)
