The only reason I boot up Windows at this point is to play shooters with EAC. What do you guys play if you're looking for a quick 20-minute firefight?

I play a lot of Apex Legends. It works very well on Linux.

Xonotic is always a good one.

Hunt Showdown runs on Linux with Proton and it has EAC

Krunker is nice for a quick match. You can play it directly from your browser or download it from steam

Older game but red orchestra 2 is a classic ww2 shooter with a decent online community. Matches are around the 20 - 30 minute mark.

I didn't know it was still active. I have it in my Steam library. Thanks!

Shatterline and Caliber

Both free to play, on Steam, and work using Proton.

Some EAC games support linux like halo. I played MCC and the performance was fine, but I found the game to be unstable when interacting with the menu/UI.

Why not just CS:GO? But I’m only saying this because I have no real recommendation tbh. For offline I can recommend Ravenfield. It’s really fun even though the native Linux version is kind of broken when using mods which is kinda the point of the game. Works fine using Proton though

Honestly, my only reason not to play CSGO is that I spent all of highschool playing it and just don't enjoy it anymore.

Insurgency Sandstorm is pretty good and CS:GO is always a classic go-to.
