Just that basically every game works. The majority will work with no tinkering, and then a small amount will need very basic tinkering (talking like adding three words to your steam launch commands or something).
There is a very small % of games that is “unsupported,” and even those you can usually get working. For example, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is labeled as “unsupported” on Steam, but I got it to work just fine (with DSFix too) with hardly any tinkering. I saw Racettear unplayed and “unsupported” in my library the other night, and it took me about 2 minutes to get it running (at the wrong resolution), and another 5 to get it scaled to the right resolution.
Check protondb.com for some better info on whether or not a game will work (and if any tinkering is needed, what it is).
The only games that appear to truly not work on Linux are games with anti-cheat. And even then, it’s not all of them, only the ones where the devs decided for some reason not to allow Linux players.

Thanks for that site!
No worries, it’s very helpful. I edited my comment a little since you replied in case you missed some info I added about Proton itself.
Have fun!
