From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

I'm not familiar with this game but if Escape from Tarkov is what you mean, it's not listed in Proton DB. It IS listed in Wine App DB: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=37794

as Platinum with wine-staging 4.2 but that was from like 4 years ago and I don't know what updates the game's had since then.

Only thing I can suggest is dual boot Linux and try it. Since I've only ever dual booted, I'm not so familiar with Linux VMs and containers so I don't know if they'd work or if booting from a live environment USB would be sufficient to test the game with Wine.

If you don't dual boot, asking in one of the Linux Gaming communities might answer that question.
