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.

Palia is fun for awhile but not a lot of lasting content there yet.
An oldschool style Linux native MMO I still recommend is Project Gorgon. It's a very social game, while you can do a lot solo eventually you'll run into the game's only real punishment which is dying from a boss fight. You'll get a permanent curse that can only be lifted by defeating that boss and the best way to do that is to find other players in game to help you do it.
