It's Steam; you might wish they had more support on Linux, but you can't say that Steam doesn't support Linux.
Honestly I struggle to imagine how Steam could support it more.
Steam client needs the XWayland translation layer to work on any modern DE, plus 32-bit libraries (which are not installed by default).
He could be alluding to valve only supporting their own distro and Ubuntu LTS officially.
Maybe? But all the resources Valves puts towards supporting Proton benefits everyone gaming on Linux, even those not using a Steam client.
