I'm seeking recommendations for mp games where I could make friends so

must run on Linux
must have a multiplayer element
said multiplayer must not rely on you already having friends, so it must include an alive function finding you a team
must have a function to communicate and add people you played with afterwards

The games I know of, which fullfil these (obviously tired of these, hence why seeking more):

Deep Rock Galactic
Dead by Daylight
Guild Wars 2
League of Legends
Overwatch 2 (possible issues with client on Linux)

I live in a country where I don't speak the language, I moved here not to go homeless in the previous country and I really miss any human connections. I will appreciate the recs.

Counter strike 2, released recently and runs on Linux, I can't say that the people you'll meet on that will be that great all the time, but you may be able to meet people there.

You might also be able to meet people in RuneScape or old school RuneScape, or other MMO type games, usually they have clan features where you can join a group of players.

Not sure if it's still busy with players but kingdom of loathing also at least used to have players you could chat with live, and could join a clan or something like that in there.
