    i don’t think anyone in this thread is saying we shouldn’t have proton, but just that it is holding back actual linux development. I for one love my steamdeck and use proton all the time.

    but facts are facts, and there are less games being developed for linux because of proton.

      I have several native Linux games but I use the Windows version on proton because it’s more reliable. The games used to work great but not so much anymore.

        Yeah, outside of Stardew Valley and minecraft, my experience with linux native games has been… unpleasant. Meanwhile, the proton version of the same games have never given me issue.

      Really?

      On the one hand, it’s a shame in general, as Proton has truly been a pesky thorn on the foot for Linux gaming

      Cause that implies wanting to get rid of it. You don’t tend to fondly keep as a momento the thorn in your foot… you rip it out and get rid of it.
