Gaming on Linux has been evolving over the years, thanks to Steam's Proton and Wine and many other tools like Bottles, Lutris, and Heroic Game Launcher.
This means even if a game is unavailable natively on Linux, you can still play some of them thanks to Steam Play.
That's great. Now, you would need some great discounts on games to give them a try, right?
Well, you are in luck; the yearly Steam Summer Sale is live right now (until July 13, 2023), with offers on much of the catalog.
