I’ve never used Zorin, so I can’t tell you what the problems are caused by. I’d just recommend using a more mainstream and polished distro for gaming. Personally I’ve been using Fedora for a while and every game I try performs great. Can’t really compare to Windows anymore as it’s been a few years since the last time I used it on my hardware.
Generally, Nvidia drivers are absolutely horrendous on Linux. However, there are distros that make installing the right ones extremely easy or even skip that part entirely. You can try Pop!_OS and select the Nvidia ISO or Manjaro, which I believe had an installer for Nvidia drivers.
For specific games, I recommend checking out their respective ProtonDB pages. For me all games work out of the box and I never need any tweaks. Though it’s a good place in case you run into any. Some games like Civilization VI have disastrous native Linux ports, so you need to manually change to Proton in the game’s properties on Steam. I don’t think it’s the case for CS2, since Valve’s games usually have great native Linux support.
