PlayOnLinux (Phoenicis) is back? But confusing which is the current "true one" to install
Should the website www.playonlinux.com indicate the situation more clearly too? Any clarification? What do you think of this "mess"?

Windows 11 vs Linux Privacy
I noticed the Call of Duty series on Steam, so I expect most or all of them will play perfectly fine on Linux Mint in Steam. If you want to play Windows games outside of Steam, there are apps like Lutris and PlayOnLinux that make running Windows games on Linux pretty easy. https://lutris.net/ https://www.playonlinux.com/ https://www.protondb.com/search?q=call%20of%20duty

Is Linux worth for gaming? Which distro do you recommend?
If you will to run a game with Wine, use the release version. You can also use PlayOnLinux (I feel old mentioning this), Lutris, and Bottles (this new one I didn't tested yet).

I don't know what I'm doing. Trying to use wine for my windows softwares. I don't speak blank box.. help
So, I don't use WINE directly. Instead, I use PlayOnLinux, which hides most of the complexity for you. It handles all the WINE stuff on your behalf. It looks like you're using Ubuntu (please remember to include your Linux version in future!), so you can install PlayOnLinux from the standard repositories.

How to install PlayOnLinux?
I believe POL is basically dead, see the repo here: https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/POL-POM-4/commits/master where there were only 10 commits over the last 2 years.

Dear Microsoft, please leave me the hell alone. (Windows 10 Pro)
https://www.playonlinux.com/ is a good resource to get Windows Apps up and running easily and has a compatibility list of most software
-
Why isn't there a compatibility layer for MAC OS software like there is Windows?
There are also GUI front-ends for WINE. PlayOnLinux has been around for a long time, and Bottles has recently come on the scene. I don't know how to use WINE, but I can use it because of those two apps.

Verified/Playable games but from other stores
If you want to know if a game is playable or not and it doesn't have a linux version, then the best way I know of is looking it up on lutris. You can't look on protondb, because it's only for Steam games. You can also look on wine and playonlinux, but they usually aren't as exhaustive as lutris.

Eternally grateful for the people working on proton, lutris, and wine
I find WINE quite complicated to use, so I use PlayOnLinux, which is a front-end for WINE. Unless you need expert mode, it's way easier to use PlayOnLinux than to have to fiddle with setting up an app directly with WINE.

Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?
Heroic Games Launcher: Support is limited to Epic, GOG and Amazon but the advantage is that it can manage their games itself without the need of their own launchers. Doesn't have support for tags currently.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

I just bought a steam deck for my 15yo’s bday present - now what?
Maybe also look into HeroicGamesLauncher and how to install it, Steam isn't the only platform for gaming and HeroicGamesLauncher help with the following platform: GoG (Good Old Games) and EGS (Epic Game Store).
- According to a survey, only 36% of PC gamers buy games at full price.
