    Its all Steam more or less. So I get the linux (I can figure out how online) and then I get Wine and then I get Proton? These are all pretty simple steps right?

      All you need is steam. Just right click on any game you have and set "force use compatibility tools" it will download proton and all of that for you. Over 90% of my steam library works with no problem.

      Pirated games can get a bit trickier but you can get the majority of them working through lutris.

      So for proton you're in luck, Steam essentially sets the whole thing up. Unless you're running something really weird, you rarely need to interface with wine directly anymore. Check this out https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/introduction-linux-gaming-thanks-protondb

      If you want a easier experience getting gaming stuff installed, I've heard Pop! OS is pretty beginner friendly and helps install various non-free software(free as in freedom, not beer). It should be really easy to get graphics drivers and steam installed.

      If you opt for a more generic Linux distro like Ubuntu, you can still find a basic tutorial to get you going with everything. It all depends how much hands on stuff you're up for. When in doubt, google it out. Read up and if anything doesn't make sense, break the phrases down and google each one till you know whats going on.
