>Where does this sentiment come from that Linux has come very far when it comes to gaming? Look at what you could run in Wine in 2004 and what you had to do to get it working and what you can do now in Proton. It might technically not be "native Linux" but I couldn't care less as long as it works. >I've used Linux/Unix for 20+ years but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming unless you enjoy debugging Linux software and want to do more of it. I game a little bit on Linux and have never touched a hex editor to do it. Right now I only have one game where I have to manually download a dll, all the rest I want to play works flawlessly. I only have to enable Proton in Steam and that's it. Yes, they're mostly older games and I still certainly wouldn't recommend Linux for gaming, but there is definitely progress.
