Hello everyone I am a new Linux user are there any games that are running well on Linux and are nice to play? I am open to any suggestions.

Pretty much any game that doesn't have intrusive anti-cheat software will run these days. Just install Steam and start playing.

*And enable Steam Play in the settings

What settings are these? Have i missed something?

In the Steam settings, to use Proton you need to enable it in the "Steam Play" section. Doing this will enable the Proton translation layer and allow you to play (most) Windough$ games on Linux

I usually use Proton Experimental in the dropdown since it seems pretty stable and keeps it up-to-date.

Oh that one. Yeah, I got that. Just thought there was something in the OS settings I'd missed.
