I’ve switched from windows to mint 3 seperate times and Debian once. I don’t have any problems with the system itself but every time people always talk about how easy it is to game, they are almost exclusively referring to steam.
I pirate certain games like old call of duty games because you can’t play zombies offline on steam but modded/pirated versions you can. I can never for the life of me figure them out on Linux. Another simple game is wizard101, its not on steam and whenever I play it, its just laggy as hell.
I’ll never hate on Linux because it is amazing, but I just struggle with it more than most it seems.
Yeah, older games require a bit of tinkering, the bigger the game’s community, the more likely it is documented, i play modded Morrowind and the process was rather simple, albeit very involved.
online-focused games should generally be a lot harder to install, so I understand the frustration, but it’s not an issue of installing the OS itself, just installing a game in an emulated environment, and using the correct settings, which shouldn’t be too different from emulating consoles, it makes it a bit easier to think about it that way.

Lutris seems to be the solution for your problem. Also, for older games, often than not, you gotta try few different proton versions.
