> There is all this talk that Proton will make people want to develop native Linux ports but I don't see any data or logic to back that up. Never heard this and I agree it doesn't make any sense (the opposite is likely to be true actually). Wine exists because people wanted to run windows software, Proton exists because Valve wanted to compete with Windows and mainstream consoles and needed to run most Windows games to do that. That's it. TBH, I think they were successful, ProtonDB is good enough and I can game on Linux pretty well and I could definitely game on a hypothetical Steam console, especially if it were open. Maybe I will, once I settle down and buy a dedicated gaming rig / have more time to play.
