Are there still games that just don't run on linux? I messed around with it like 6 years ago but didn't dig too deep, because my main 3 games were the ones that didn't run on linux.
Destiny 2 comes to mind. Bungie has indicated there's 0 interest in making it compatible with Linux ever.
Usually if it can't run on Linux it's because of kernel level anti-cheat. The vast majority of Steam's library works out of the box with Proton nowadays.
Roblox doesn't run on Linux at the moment because the devs have blocked proton and wine. Which, well, pisses me off because I want to put Linux on my daughter's PC.
Yes, usually games with anti cheat, like Destiny 2. Although it’s way better nowadays, mostly thanks to Valve.
If there's a game you're interested to run on Linux, you can check https://www.protondb.com for the community's ratings of how well it works.
