You can also get this great feature in standalone version, for free, and without any Linux compatibility or Windows integration issues. Definitively recommend checking at ubuntu.com for it ;-)

For those who haven't tried gaming on Linux for a couple of years - things have gotten a lot better. Most games basically run flawlessly, with the notable exceptions mostly being multiplayer games with incompatible anti cheat solutions (and even that's recently gotten a lot better - EAC officially supports Linux now).

You run just native Linux games, and the times they aren't available, you run them using the Proton compatibility layer (built right into Steam). There is also Lutris for Windows games not available on Steam.
