These days, it's also worth finding out if the games are AAA or indie. Indie games are *widely* supported on Linux. I mean I have literally hundreds by this point. They're just not your average 80GiB-download mass multiplayer shooter. (In general multiplayer online stuff is less supported because these days it tends to involve horrifyingly invasive Windows kernel nightmares, basically rootkits to prevent cheating. This is, unsurprisingly, an absolute no-go on Linux and will never work with WINE -- which means Steam's Proton -- either.)
