Well there is

Vulkan (graphics API, successor to OpenGL which was used by e.g. Minecraft, CS Go i believe)
DXVK (compatibility layer for games created with the DirectX Framework by MS)
Lutris (game launcher for stuff you bought outside of steam, e.g. GOG, Epic, Uplay, etc.)
Steam and maybe Proton but idk.
the atom thing could be protondb.com, where you can look up if your game will run on linux and what fixes / commands are available

Thanks! protondb sounds like a very handy website

There's also a great decky plugin that adds protondb badges and links directly to all your games on the deck. Really helps figure out any small tweaks you should use to maximize frames and will also mark games as silver/gold/platinum even if valve hasn't marked them as supported yet.

Sure is! Almost every game that doesn't run well out of the box has a fix there.
