Linux gaming is a stack of compatibility choices.

A game can ship a Linux build, run through Proton, use another translation layer, or stop at its launcher or anti-cheat. “Works on Linux” needs a little context: which game build, driver, runtime, desktop session, launcher, and date?

When something breaks, check the game’s current support status and launcher logs first. Then change one thing at a time: runtime, launch option, or driver. Keep saves backed up before trying a new prefix or compatibility tool. A controlled change saves a lot of blind reinstalling.

Compatibility reports from a community are useful starting points, but a report only describes its own setup. This archive has no current test matrix for the titles in the Collection, so it does not mark any of them as tested here. Future notes can include the version, hardware, runtime, and date alongside the result.
