The game I want to play isn't available on Linux.
Send a letter to the game developers, and if they don't plan on supporting linux, don't play it. Simple as that.
or, and hear me out:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton
Yeah proton still has a lot of limitations and workarounds to get many games working, so if you just want true plug-n-play you're not going to be satisfied with that solution.
Yeah, but I'd still argue that it's a lot better than nothing, and we have Valve to thank for making a lot of Windows games actually playable on Linux.
Of course it's better than nothing, at its definitely working OK, but gaming on Linux is still not quite good enough in terms of user experience. Average users don't want to, and honestly they shouldn't, debug just to play their game...
