You're going to want to install the Proton tools which include Wine and pile of other tools for making games work well (sometimes better) on Linux.
Besides installing Steam for Linux, you can also use Lutris which allows you a lot of tweaking to get non-steam games working under Proton.
You can check the viability of running your games on Linux with ProtonDB.
A shortcut to all this is to use a distro like Nobara or Bazzite that are pretty much designed from the ground up to run games and other graphics intensive software like video editors etc.
Good pointers, thanks! Testing it before actually deleting windows is important to me
A word of caution on using Bazzite, it is an immutable operating system based off of fedora atomic. So there are differences/limitations in how software is installed. Not suggesting you avoid Bazzite, I'm using it on my main gaming rig, just know that it's a bit different than a standard Fedora varient.
Yah, those distros have all this stuff preinstalled and I don't have nVidia, but if you do there's a place in the Nobara welcome screen to enable the nVidia drivers. GloriousEggroll, who does the Nobara distro, is one of the primary contributors to Proton.
