There are several ways to play LFS on linux, regardless of distribution.
For reference, I am using Zorin OS 17.1 which is based on ubuntu 22.04.

There are several ways to play LFS. But i'll just list the two that give the most performance.
  1. Lutris
  2. Steam Proton
Lutris
I can't be bothered to open a VM for this, but you basically just add a game and it lets you search for one. Then you just search for Live For Speed and it will install the latest version. When updates get released you just install them through the auto-updater in the game.

Steam Proton
Proton is a compability layer which allows linux users to run windows applications, games specifically. Never fails to impress me. To use it for steam games you right click a game > Properties > Compability and enable Steam Play. Select a proton version below that.

Steam Proton (non-steam game)
Games (top-left) > Add a non-steam game to my library > and select LFS.exe. If you don't have LFS installed you can select the self-extract archive. Run the game.

Personally, i prefer lutris due to the jerky setup with LFS and Proton.
Before proton i used to run LFS through wine, but it is simply not worth it. Lutris or proton ftw!

Best of luck.
