Wine is still a thing, but most people prefer Proton for gaming.
The easiest way is to install Steam and play your games through that. Non-steam games can be added with “add a non-steam game”, and then you can choose to launch them with proton though the settings for the shortcut you created.
I can count on one hand the games that havent worked for me using this method, and it applies to any distro. I’ve never even considered doing a full VM for a game, i’m not even aware of a game that would work under a VM but not Proton.
Check out ProtonDB to see if your games work, and if any tweaks are required.
