Many games are still not functional on Linux. Here is a link showing which ones aren't just due to their anti-cheat features. That doesn't include games that aren't compatible for other reasons.

If you can find a game that doesn't work on Linux at this point not due to anti cheat that would be honestly rather impressive.

It's pretty rare to find a game that doesn't work for a reason that isn't anticheat. I would say the few that are incompatible definitely classify as the exception and not the rule.

I'm not playing any games with anticheat and I'm working so much I only play single player. Linux won for me
