Do you have it through Epic or Steam? I was unfortunate and got it after it was delisted from Steam.
But it does work, I'd use Heroic Launcher for it.

Reading a lot of these comments I think people are under the wrong impression of the current state of Linux. I think you'll have a better experience with a bleeding edge distro like Arch or Fedora.
A lot of your productivity apps are on Linux, a higher percentage of your games work than you think, and you could see a performance boost over windows. Plus there are multiple app alternatives that are even better.
I ditched Windows three years ago. 99% of my 450 Steam library works (yes AAA games) thanks to Valve with Proton. What doesn't? Call of Duty, because of invasive kernel level anti-cheat and I'm good with that.
Steam, Zoom, Slack, Teams, Spotify, Plex, Jellyfin, Discord are all on Linux.
Edit: Also there is no "look/UI" to Linux. It's your DE, and you're free to choose one, or a Window Manager. Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, i3, Awesome, Openbox, XMonad, Sway, Hyprland.
I don't know what productivity software you might be using, but I want to point out some that are on Linux that people might think they aren't:
Zoom, Slack, VSCode, Microsoft Teams, OpenVPN, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Libre Office, Open Office, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
Not productivity:
Steam, Discord, Spotify, Plex, Jellyfin
For AAA titles (not gonna list every one), here's a few:
Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space remake, Resident Evil 2/3/4/7 remakes, God of War, Returnal, The Last of Us Part 1, Uncharted 4, all the Assassin's Creeds, Atomic Heart, the Batman games, Bioshock games, Dark Souls 1/2/3, Death Stranding, Elden Ring, Days Gone, Dying Light 1/2, all the Far Crys, Final Fantasy 7 remake, FF8-15, Ghostrunner, GTA5, Hi-Fi Rush, Spider-Man/Miles Morales, Tomb Raider games, Sekiro, Sonic Frontiers, Star Wars (all) and Jedi Fallen/Survivor, The Division 1/2, The Witcher 1/2/3, Yakuza (all), plus more
Hardware is 5950x, 64gb ram and a 4090. Although before I had a 3070 Ti.
I'm on Arch, but what problems are you having with proton or Lutris? Which Nvidia drivers do you have installed (dkms?) and what kernel?
With the state of proton, I almost never have to check the force compatibility tool and select a version, it'll work out of the box. There have been a few exceptions of course.
Oh haven't heard of it, I'll check it out!
This is so wrong. 99% of my 450 game library on Steam works perfectly. Great performance with proton.

Last time I checked Valorant worked with wine/proton-ge
