89% of the top 1000 games work on Linux just fine. Don't know where these delusional number are taken from.

I have yet to run into game I want to play on steam that hasn't worked for me on linux. This is 100% user error on your part, you can always reference [prontondb](https://www.protondb.com/) for game compatibility on linux.
I have a catalog of 426 games and I would be hard pressed to find one that doesn't work on linux. Something is wrong with your configuration, you may need to enable steam play for supported titles and enable steam play for all other titles under the comparability tab in settings. If you are playing games with EAC anticheat or battle eye anti cheat you need to download the EAC/Battle eye proton compatibility layers under the tools section of your steam library.
For clarification, I use Ubuntu 22.04 at my Parents, and Linux Debian at the Flat, running on a Chrome OS Desktop.
I do have a few Steam games that work, such as Cassette Beasts, TemTem, Two Point Hospital and Under a Killing Moon, but everything else I've tried ain't worked, and there's only so many times I can buy something, it doesn't work so I request a full refund before it gets annoying and/or they eventually refuse the refunds.

You need to actually activate it in the settings. It's not turned on by default. Look for "compatibility".
If anything, it's the other way around

Probably if you don't enable steam play for all titles it'll be like 95% that don't work.
They do?
what do you mean? 95% of the games DO work on Proton and GE-Proton, you are doing something wrong if that's the case.
The majority of games in the catalog are rated platinum and gold on ProtonDB, I'd say that's pretty good
What is your spec and the games you were trying? Details would help.

It's the other way around. Did you turn on Proton in settings ---> compatability?
What are you talking about. Of my 300 game library only 3 don't work.
Sounds like a personal problem
Steam Play [Guide](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2019/07/a-simple-guide-to-steam-play-valves-technology-for-playing-windows-games-on-linux/).
All my games work. I am thinking you didn't turn on the use proton for all games in the compatibility settings.
It's because you're doing something wrong.
What do you mean...95% of the games work in Proton, without any problems. Just activate Proton Experimental, that's all.
Can you mention some examples?
How slow is your internet connection ? This might have been true 10 years ago

You have to enable proton in your steam settings
If they've got Temtem running, they have. It's windows only.
