Unfortunately I don't have a lot of overlap with you. (I do own Star Citizen from the initial kickstarter, but haven't tried it on Linux. There IS a Bottles setup for it that says it works well, but I have no experience to share.)

Phasmophobia I thought I played on Linux a bunch, but the game itself was just terribly buggy. Could be that was Linux, but I could swear my friends on Windows were having similar problems. (One reason we don't play this anymore.)

The rest I haven't tried, so can't help. It feels like either you game quite a bit more broadly than I do, or you got really unlucky. Here's a quick list of my recently played games with no hiccups - maybe the issue is indy titles tend to work better?

Vampire Survivors Schedule I Kingdoms Reborn PULSAR: Lost Colony Mindustry Star Trek: Resurgence Tales and Tactics Powerwash Simulator Motor Town The Headliners Ale & Tale Tavern Space Engineers ...

No problems. Didn't really have to think about anything with any of these.

You haven't told me any of the games you're trying to get to work.

If they have kernel anti-cheat, anti-Linux checking, etc then you're going to have bad luck and may want to consider a VM and GPU passthrough.

With the vast majority of games I have tried on Linux, things Just Work out of the box.

I mean, usually you can think about your own process as a black box as long as you can take in whatever format they give and output whatever format they need.

You have to make your own decisions, of course. I just want to say: it's not impossible.

Tell me you haven't tried Proton on Linux without telling me you haven't tried Proton on Linux.

No, they're saying you are making a mountain of molehill and using it as justification. You are saying you are technically correct, the best kind of correct.
