Go with an AMD graphics card, they work right out of the box in Linux so it's just that much easier.

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.

The only thing that still makes me keep a Windows partition on my computer is Valorant, I want to start playing CounterStrike so I can drop this damn malware game.
I've always wondered but for all the hate Valorant gets, do you feel like their anti-cheat has reduced the amount of cheaters you experience as compared to other games?
FWIW I haven't played much Valorant

I would be keen to hear back on these. I think you will have no problem with Civilisation, but for Skyrim modding, possibly issues especially if you're using an ENB mod.
I've been meaning to try Skyrim but I'm waiting until total conversion mods Skywind and Skyblivion come out.
Don't use ENB with my setup, too much of a strain on fps, so that wouldn't be a setback :)
I'd say about 95 percent of my steam collection works with little to no tweaking required these days. Skyrim works, throw any mods you want at it. Witcher 3 runs great. RDR2 and any civ 1-6 all run perfectly. Baulders Gate 3 runs smooth as butter.
There's the odd game here and there that doesn't work well or at all but most things just work. I think the main thing that doesn't work is anticheat enabled online games. I don't play those though so I can't really comment on their state of play outside of that.

I can only speak for Witcher 3 of the games you've listed and it plays really great!
You can just check on protondb if any game you want to play works with Proton or doesn't at all. But generally almost anything that doesn't require an anticheat will work.
Xevil still works.
