I tried serval games on Steam Linux. They worked very well what was unexpected for me. So playing on linux is possible. Especially when the game is prepared for this platform.
I have not been playing games on the Linux operating system for a long time. I know I needed a couple of hours to install the game. I recently watched LinusTech, who made a YouTube show on gaming on Linux OS. He was very proud of the progress of the gaming on Linux.
