I've been gaming on Linux for a few years now and it runs anything I've picked without issues (even bigger stuff like Baldurs Gate 3). In fact I'm surprised how smooth and trouble free the experience is.
Linux is pretty much flawless for single player gaming at this point.
Linux is pretty freaking good for a good chunk of MMO's and multiplayer games, too.. But you have to approach these games with caution and research to make sure the one you are interested in doesnt have invasive rootkit anticheats.. cause those games wont work on linux, and thats entirely because of the game dev's choices, not a linux issue.
