I haven't made the switch yet, and I want to know if Linux can run my favorite games.

Even if a game doesn't look like it'll work based on protondb, try it anyway. Many times I've had games that were marked as low ratings start up without any changes lol. I remember even when d4 beta came out, I saw people struggling to install and play it on the first weekend... Worked out of the box for me.

There's also the wine appdb on the winehq website.

Sort by platinum rating and that'll get you games that run with no (or exceedingly minimal) issues

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.
