Tactical Shooters? (feddit.org)

I'm trying to move away from service-based gaming, and I only really play two games, so that shouldn't bee too hard. I've found Terraria on GOG, but I'm trying to find a replacement for Counter Strike. Are there any good tactical shooters that don't require an account on an online service like Steam or Ubisoft? If you can't think of any tactical shooters, what about non-Quake-likes (like Xonotic)? I'm not a huge fan of movement shooters.

The COD2 single-player campaign is good. Any of the boomer shooters like Doom, System Shock. Far Cry, Arma, maybe UT.

Does Arma run well on Linux these days? I remember trying to run Arma 2 on my Linux box back in the day and failing.

Reforger seems to work as well as it does for me as my friend who games on Windows. I've never had any issues running it.

gaming on Linux has come a long way, proton is great and can be used outside of steam, like with Lutris or Heroic Launcher
