I hated Windows 8 enough to put up with it at the time. It's nuts how much things have improved since then.
My eve online circa 2008-10 was on Linux, as well as other not-entirely well remembered attempts dating back to around 2005, when I was more interested in spinny cube desktop. Fglrx and I were well acquainted, but not quite friends.
10 years ago back in college I mainly ran Ubuntu and did the windows VM with VFIO GPU passthrough to game on a fullscreen windows VM that got full PCI usage of the GPU, was the best of both worlds
Does Teeworld count?
The last time I played that game I was immediately kicked due to "skill issue"
Its good you like it though, I just wish there was local version

OpenTTD worked excellent on Ubuntu on my Dell E5400 back in 2009-2011 or so.
I started gaming on Linux at the beginning of 2019, that was afaik half a year after Proton was released, and I still remember how rough around the edges it was. Back then it still felt somewhat like a coin flip (the odds in reality were obviously a good deal better) if a game ran. Seeing how much they improved it over the last 5 years is really quite something.
Iirc I did that for roughly a year and then proton hit. It was a bit of a different experience for sure but even at that time it was not all that bad. coincidentally that time also taught me a lot on how to troubleshoot stuff so I suppose it had it's benefits despite the added hassle that it was sometimes.
WoW runs well under Wine without much trouble.
And it has for like 15 years.
I played a lot on my laptop with Debian 9 with just plain wine and one prefix for everything (I don't remember the wine version).
I can't remember all the games I played, but I do remember the last 3: all the Deadspace
