Most of Steam games rely on Proton for support. You need to enable it in Steam's settings, under Steam Play.

You can check how well a game runs on protondb. Some games may require additional steps to be playable (using a specific version of Proton, installing something), protondb reports most of the time include required information.

Honestly, this needs to go away, there is never a scenario where Linux gamers only want to play some of their games. There should be instead some pop up window for non proton verified games instead of an obtuse setting.

Wow thank you so much for this - I had no idea! I am midway through a CPU change but as soon as I can get back in I will give this a try. Cheers!
