Is there a list of games that run smoothly on Linux without native support?
I haven't made the switch yet, and I want to know if Linux can run my favorite games.

Honestly, we're so far that it's easier to look for unsupported games. Those include those with draconian anti cheat (see https://areweanticheatyet.com/) and those that can only be installed with the Windows store like Minecraft Bedrock edition (but for that the Android version works) and Gamepass games.
You can launch Minecraft Bedrock with the mcpelauncher of the Steam Deck or you can use Waydroid.
Protondb?
Thanks a lot! :)
Even if a game doesn't look like it'll work based on protondb, try it anyway. Many times I've had games that were marked as low ratings start up without any changes lol. I remember even when d4 beta came out, I saw people struggling to install and play it on the first weekend... Worked out of the box for me.
There's also the wine appdb on the winehq website.
Sort by platinum rating and that'll get you games that run with no (or exceedingly minimal) issues
Rule of thumb: if it doesn't require a rootkit anti-cheat, it's probably going to work
Here's a list that wasn't posted yet https://lutris.net/games
Have you tried adding it as a non-steam game and telling it to use Proton that way?
there are a few options to make gog/epic games works with heroic, if it doesn't work out of the box :
I've seen that a protondb user posted about cyberpunk 2077 working on heroic launcher. I hope you'll manage to have it too.
Exactly the same issue with me, I bought it on Good Old Games when I used to run windows as I love the premise of GOG, a similar ethos to Linux of actually owning software - but steam proton is just infinitely more practical.
Looking at Steam Deck verified titles is also an option either on Steam or a third party website.
There's always Nethack.
Maybe if you asked about specific games you would get good answers..
They didn't want to know about a specific game..they requested a place to find a list
