It even somehow works better than native Linux ports sometimes.
In my experience not just sometimes, but rather commonly. It often feels like the native Linux version, if it is even available, gets far fewer bug fixes - not like I can blame them, considering the far lower amount of Linux players, but sometimes I wonder why they even bother with it in the first place if they don't want to bother with focusing on it, with how good Proton is.

LinuxRulez from torrminatorr. The more recent ones are more likely to be seeded.
There are a few linux native games, with actually compiled for Linux binaries. Otherwise you’d better look at the WINE project and all that make many windows (as in win64) games runs on Linux.
For OP's sake, I'll add that many, many games in steam can be jiggered to work in compatibility mode on Linux. Its as simple as telling steam to use compatibility mode on all games, and checking proton.db for tricks.
With Heroic launcher, Epic, Amazon Prime (untested for me) and GoG too.
The only games I have so far been unable to play are Fortnite and an obscure FPS I forget rn, both with EAC.
WINE is the last thing I try after these easy solutions.
I'm not sure if it's better to play native linux games than to use wine
some games I tried, the native linux version had broken lighting, while the wine version worked fine
also with wine all your saves are in the game folder, and it doesn't make a mess by saving files wherever the developer thought would do the job
also it's easier to find the latest version for windows than it is for linux
