That's nice. Hopefully it getting more notorious means that HW companies will support it better. But, at the same time, if this is just from the Steam Deck, then, kinda fugged

I dunno, I see the steam deck as a huge win for Linux. It shows people how simple Linux gaming can be.
It is a win, but it's more of a Steam Deck win than a plain Linux one.
Proton?
Valve puming money in the Steamdeck is paying off for everybody gaming on Linux.
It made me pull the trigger again and this time i'm not even dual booting.

It's a double-edged sword though. It means there's no point in developing native Linux games, because it'll run through Proton anyway. Keeping Windows the default gaming platform still, and making Steam the only way to acquire games if you wanna play on Linux. You CAN add non-steam games to Steam, but they're not guaranteed to work. I don't know if you can also run Proton without Steam because I've never needed to try, but that would be a hassle for your average user.
There was never a chance in hell that AAA games are natively coming to Linux. I rather have them now with a compatibility layer and gain some market space, we'll go from there then
