I'm not and never was a fan of Windows 10, i'm moving to Linux Mint when i have time, and i was wondering whether is it possible or not for Linux to play multiplayer games cross platform with Windows using Zero Tier, but it's not possible, is it?

Linux and windows are both PC. The only issues with cross platform is with consoles due to their closed environments.

I can't see why you'd have any issue playing PC games with windows and Linux.

There are edge cases. Older ports, notably Total War and Civilization plus a few other edge cases I've found, will either crash when trying to talk to each other or refuse to do it. You can likely sidestep all of these issues by just running the Windows version via Proton instead. I believe the problems those ports had were something to do with underlying libraries and how they keep time, but I admit I don't know for sure.

Oh interesting. I hadn't considered that.
