It also "Just works" in linux. None of the other launchers do that :)

  I did have some problems with some games that claimed to support Linux but wouldn't run on latest 64bit Ubuntu or take issue with whichever graphics drivers I was using, but yeah, generally Steam games would simply work whereas the rest either wouldn't or would require layers of indirection like WINE and a lot of fiddling.

    Yeah. Now in my older days I really appreciate the "Steam play" proton layer. It just sets up everything for me so I don't have to mess with lutris, various wine versions and whatnot. I've found that using the libraries included in steam also removed all manual "fiddling" compared to running it with native arch linux libraries.
