Are you guys playing AAA games in Linux? Everything works?

The only time I've experienced a AAA game not working at launch or shortly after launch is when the developer explicitly goes out of the way to block usage on Linux.

Looking at you Bungie.

They work in general, especially if the games have no anticheat or 3rd party launchers. As an example, Sonys PC ports work very well on linux/proton. Linux gaming is great nowadays.

Lets say a major game comes out something like Elder Scrolls VI. Could I play it straight away in Linux or are we talking about older AAAs?

On launch day, 70/30 chance in favor. For example, Baldurs Gate 3 is working perfectly and it just came out. Some newer games may require Proton fixes that can take a couple days to roll out though.
