On the distro I chose, Linux Mint, Steam is easily available via the Software Manager, and roughly half of my games are Steam-compatible out of the box. Steam actually has a toggle in your game library that indicates your games that are Linux-compatible. For those that aren't, there's https://www.protondb.com/, where you can check the database to see if particular games are compatible and get installation tips to help with compatibility.

Installation was very easy with info available on Youtube and the Linux Mint website.

All it cost me was $7 for a USB drive in order to create the ISO file.
