As others have said, this is highly dependent on which genres you like; most issues involve anti-cheat unless the game specifically includes Linux, like Arc Raiders does.
That said, if you want to get a high level view of how your own steam library will fare, go to protondb.com, make an account, and link it to your steam account. This will add a 'personal library' entry to the front page, which will show a breakdown indicating what kind of success you'll have.
For me, I've had the hardest time with older windows games. I still haven't gotten Civ3 to run in an acceptable way under Wine/Proton, but every other Civ title works just fine. Thankfully these older titles also run great in a virtual machine.
Overall, very happy with the switch. My computer feels so much less annoying now. Went with Mint due to prior experience, but agree CachyOS would be a great bet for a gaming rig.
