I would like Linux to be "the" home for gaming. With those other 2 OS'es as "also supported on"'s.
I think it's almost necessary that gaming's home needs to be on an open-source OS, where people make things work because they love to, not (necessarily) because they're paid to.
I have already encountered games that no longer run on Windows but run fine (great even) on Proton.
I wish Apple wasn't locking down their PC platform so much. I mean, Asahi exists, but they are given ZERO assistance except for what is essentially "Apple holding the door open for that and similar projects". Which can close at any time. Which is a serious problem (reminiscent of the ZFS situation with Oracle).

Then there is the whole culture clash between FOSS and the way games industry sees IP, NDAs and the proprietary tooling that gives a game that edge over the competition.
