Proton (and SteamOS) are the bootstraps that will lift native Linux gaming ever higher. Yes, I've metaphorically had my face stepped on over and over for this thought, but I do see some winds of change blowing. Steam Deck is an inflect

Imagine my surprise when I saw Incompetech credited in every episode of Last Podcast on the Left. I credited them in a short film about 7 years ago and it was surreal seeing it pop up again.
