You can definitely game- WINE works well for most things, and if you want an easy frontend, look into Lutris and Play On Linux. Much easier to set games up with those, especially with Lutris (built-in install scripts? Tweaks for better sound sync and graphical fixes? It's great). Steam's got Proton as well, which has done wonders for making more games compatible. And itch.io lets you sort for Linux-native games.
If you ever poke into the command line, I'd recommend looking at the ~/.bashrc file and setting up aliases (either there or in an include file). Saves a ton of typing and memory load.
