- sergeykish 6y agoOut of curiosity I've installed Steam and checked featured game. Linux version has not started (not Ubuntu here) but Proton version worked. Now if Steam had productivity applications [1] and they had Proton version (not yet).

- Shared404 6y agoPretty much every Steam game except multiplayer focused games works in Linux now. It's a high enough percentage that I don't really consider what OS it was built for before buying almost any game.
- welterde 6y agoWe are not talking about just a few games as in the pre-steam days, but ~30% of all games on steam have native ports for linux now and over 70% can be played with proton by now. And in the end you will always have to make a choice what games to play, since not everyone owns every console ever (which have exclusive titles) or the latest and greatest hardware to play the very latest AAA titles (quite a few of which have native linux ports by now)
