Actually, if you're interested, gaming on Linux is great nowadays.
Nvidia GPUs are not really well supported, but they work.
However, if you game using Intel integrated graphics or an AMD GPU, the performance is perfect.
On steam I have yet to encounter a game that does not run well using Proton.
How does Proton work? Is it another application like wine?
It's literally a fork of wine.
But from a practical perspective, you tell steam to start the game and it starts it, installing and using proton as necessary. If the developers haven't configured it you have to first click a button in preferences that says "use proton" (paraphrased), but that's it.
How well are non-Steam games supported..?
It depends, the Heroic games launcher works well for GOG and Epic, and I've heard good things about Lutris too. For other games with their own launcher, you may have to follow certain instructions to get them to run.
Games like valorant are broken due to anticheat, but it's basically malware and I wouldn't install it anyway.
