You no longer have to install wine or manually configure games beyond what you would on Windows.
You simply install Steam, and Proton (kind of a fork of Wine) will be installed to provide compatibility for Windows games for you, in a transparent manner.
Proton has greatly increased the compatibility and performance of Windows games on Linux. In some cases, it's faster on Wine than on Windows (in part because some Windows APIs are stubbed on Wine).
Proton DB has the list of Steam games and user reports for how well they are supported under Proton.
