Just wanting to start something here regarding places to go for specific game compatibility and resources for help, that may not have a specific thread here.
The first off my head would be protondb:
ProtonDB | Gaming know-how from the Linux and Steam Deck community
Search for the game you're looking for, and you'll find tons of reports on how it works, what doesn't work, and what may or may not need to be done in order to get the game working properly.
Feel free to add any other external resources you may have that could be of help to other gamers fresh to the linux world.

Another big one is Are We Anti-Cheat Yet. Anti-cheats are one of the primary things that keep games from running under Proton, but they're not all the same. Some work, some work if the developer configures them specifically to allow Proton, some break the game, and some actively disallow it. ProtonDB above is your best resource, but Are We Anti-Cheat yet provides a bit more background on what might be in the way, and in some cases what developers have said, as they actively track developers' statements on their intentions, such as confirmed Proton support or "no, we won't ever support it."
