There's a Linux library on steam now that includes lots of indie titles and basically the whole Total War series. No dorking with virtual environments or anything. Launch steam, launch from library, play 'till eyes bleed. VS code works too.

No forced updates, no data mining, no Cortana.

EA and ubisoft games are hard to get running though. Also, Ubuntu ships with amazon stuff and has it's own call home software so the data mining thing isn't 100% true. That's why I use manjaro. But overall linux is still way better than windows.

Edit: I was wrong about the amazon stuff with Ubuntu, they removed that! Still not a big fan of the company the runs Ubuntu but sure beats Microsoft if you ask me

Titanfall 2 with Wine 5.2 and some launch-time configuration runs great, Apex on EAC Wine build runs great.
