Rules:
They've been teasing a general release for like 3 years now.
I lost hope that it would be any time soon and just installed arch. That was 6 months ago and I haven't had any show stopping issues yet.
What games have you tested ?
Timberborn, control, civ 6, tomb raider(s). Nothing MMO.
I haven't encountered a single game that hasn't worked. Maybe like 5% required more than just clicking "start."
From what I understand, it's mostly games with anti-cheat where the devs face specifically made it so Linux won't work. But I don't really play MMO games so I haven't encountered it.
I second the protondb suggestion. Amazing resource, and better than Steam's official SD rating system. If a game says "unsupported" in Steam, you should double check protondb, because that's often just not true.
