Play Windows Games on Linux with Steam Play
Steam Play is a big deal, letting you play PC games on Linux directly through the Steam interface. Steam Play is still in beta, but it already works great, already letting you play over 1000 games that were previously unavailable on Linux. You just need to enable the Steam Play beta and use an internal Steam tool called Proton to get it going.
So happy gaming, Linux people. Your time for unadulterated fun has come.
